[gdal-dev] Are unicode field values supported in the Python bindings for GDAL?

[Ari Jolma]

For the record,

In the Perl bindings all strings going to GDAL internals are upgraded 
from Perl internal format to utf-8 and all strings coming from GDAL 
internals are marked for Perl to be utf-8.

This is done in the Perl typemaps after a change last November (#23405).

I don't see a similar problem in the Perl bindings as below. However 
utf-8 strings are handled in Python differently from Perl.
