>>> e = ValueError(u"\u2639")
>>> str(e)
  ...
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode
character u'\u2639' in position 0: ordinal not in
range(128)
>>> unicode(e)
  ...
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode
character u'\u2639' in position 0: ordinal not in
range(128)

Please add a __unicode__ method to Exception.  I
suggest the following semantics:

class UnicodeAwareException(Exception):

    def __unicode__(self):
        return u" ".join(map(unicode, self.args))

Rev. 42711 (PEP 352) adds a proper __unicode__ to the
built-in exceptions.
