+# Apparently there is a python 2.6 issue where docstrings of imported view classes
+# do not retain their encoding information even if a module has a proper
+# encoding declaration at the top of its source file. Therefore for tests
+# to catch unicode related errors, a mock view has to be declared in a separate
+# module.
