django/contrib/auth/models.py UnicodeDecodeError. Permissions selection widget not shown.

Description

The "permission selection" widget was not shown in the "change user" form in the admin interface.

I have unicode characters in some of my models' verbose_name attribute and this triggered a bug in django/contrib/auth/models.py. According to what i read ​here you have to call unicode explicitly if you use unicode string with placeholders (e.g. u'%s' % unicode(foo)). This is not done in the Permission model.

Forgot to mention that this only applies to python 2.3.
