This is caused by newer python-vobject. When I switch from 0.9.x to the
jessie version there are no unicode errors. Jelmer, did you have an idea
what triggers this? Its already reproducible with our test suite.

      git clone git://git.debian.org:/git/calypso/calypso.git
      cd calypso
      nosetests
