                    <input type="submit" name="golfsite" value="Golfagora" />
                    <input type="submit" name="golfsite" value="Juchi" />
</form>

views.py is

def affiliate(request, golfsite=None):

    golfsite = golfsite or request.args.get('golfsite')


    ......

    You are getting Unicode strings, which is normal. This is not a problem. Django has decoded incoming form data to Python unicode strings based on the encoding used. This is normal behaviour.

    Please do read up on Python and Unicode in the Python Unicode HOWTO to avoid future confusion.
