Title:
  User unicode character in name, shows error when opening form.

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There is a problem creating a user with a character that is not in the
  7-bit ASCII list inside the login. For example accented characters in
  spanish produce the problem. You can create the user the problem
  arises once you try to access the form of the user again, the
  following error appears :

  ...

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/openerp-7.0_20130716_231027-py2.6.egg/openerp/addons/auth_signup/res_users.py", line 87, in _get_signup_url_for_action res[partner.id] = urljoin(base_url, "?%s#%s" % (urlencode(query), urlencode(fragment))) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib.py", line 1269, in urlencode v = quote_plus(str(v))
  UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa1' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

  After giving it some thought I believe I understand the problem, the
  textbox in creating a new user let's me add an entry with characters
  over 0x80 which are outside the 7-bit ASCII, now the database is
  already in UTF-8 so no problem there the problem occurs on the web
  client when it tries to read the value by passing throught the 'str()'
  which throws the error. In any case or the validation when creating
  the user should filter this or maybe it should use 'unicode()' instead
  of 'str()'. Seems like a design decision, hope this information helps.
