title: Java String to Python String Encoding "error"
body: <p>Not sure if that is the best of titles but...</p>
  
  <p>In my android app I'm trying to verify a signed string.</p>
  
  <p>My method to do this works if I copy and paste the signedString and the Signature into my Django/Python method directly (I get these strings from my logcat).</p>
  
  <p>But when I try to actually send that data to the server, it always comes up saying it is not verified.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried .encode('ascii') and .encode('utf_8') [just blindly trying these things] and nothing has worked.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
