Python : encode string

Question

I'd like sending a message (an e-mail) which contains strings from a database with some special characters

Example (in french): "Bonjour ça va ?"

Is it possible to encode the mail to utf-8 mode ? When I write this message on a file, I just have to set his property to "utf-8" and then he displays it successfully, how can do the same thing into my mail?

u"Bonjour ça va ?"
