Quick update before getting to sleep:

$ python 
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Nov 21 2013, 12:39:37) 
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from __future__ import print_function
>>> from __future__ import unicode_literals
>>> data = {'from': '\u017b'}
>>> print(type(data['from']))
<type 'unicode'>
>>> string = '  <td>{from}</td>\n'.format(**data)
>>> print(string)
  <td>Ż</td>

so getting success there

$ PYTHONPATH=$PWD/bindings/python/ ./devel/nmbug/nmbug-status
...

    ).format(**message_display_data))

    data, consumed = self.encode(object, self.errors)

I'll dig deeper tomorrow.
