WordPressBase __repr__ needs revision

[macedd]

In order to represent an Object the system do:

1. Return a property string from WordPressChildClass.__str__
2. Convert self.__str__ to ascii (str(self))
3. Convert ascii self to utf-8 (.encode('UTF-8'))

Which IMHO is totally wrong because:

• the majority of wordpress blogs defaults to UTF-8 data - and it can't be fully converted to ascii.
• if converting to ascii, why bring back to utf-8?

I'm currently not sure if any unicode conversion is made in the request/response processes (the data [eg. self.title] is already unicode, which is great).

That being said the fix I've used is this commit. But I have also make sure to convert all the classes.str output to utf-8.

In fact I'm really not sure if converting all data to utf-8 will catch all WP encoding cases (surely most of them). There is some info about encodings and WordPress in the following links
