Use unicode-objects. And unicode IS NOT utf-8. The encoding parameter will
affect the xml generated & send over the wire - *not* what strings you
pass/return to your implementation.

So I think you should remove the encoding parameter alltogether, as this
will make the transport being in utf-8. Then use only unicode-objects in
your python code. And on the java-side, things *should* be in order.
