Apologies for the late reply. To your issue, the biggest change between Cheetah
2.0.1 and Cheetah 2.4 was the Cheetah 2.2 release which changed all strings
internally to use unicode objects instead of a hodge podge of unicode and str
objects of various encodings. 

Looks like you're using Web.py and I would double check that something else
isn't mucking with the encoding of the str object prior to passing it along to
your cheetah wrapper.

Additionally, are you using #encoding or #unicode at all in your strings? 

Any more details you can provide would be helpful.

I recognize this path, something about it says "BidEgg" to me
