python string utf,比较python中的UTF8字符串

我想检查一下，如果函数f1的argumants在MyList中接收到一些字符串(UTF8格式)，则调用函数f2；但我无法正确比较字符串。在def f1( s ):

MyList = [ u"نامشخص".encode("utf-8") , u"Unknow".encode("utf-8")]

for t in MyList:

if( t == s.encode('utf-8') ):

f2()

return None

break

else:

print "Checked strings: ", t , " =?=" , s.encode("utf-8")

print "Checked strings length: ", len(t), " =?=" , len(s)

return s

正在检查：

^{pr2}$

输出：Test String = نامشخص

Here[=]

Test String = test2

Checked strings: نامشخص =?= test2

Checked strings length: 12 =?= 5

Checked strings: Unknow =?= test2

Checked strings length: 6 =?= 5

Test String = نامشخص

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "test.py", line 31, in

f1(a)

File "test.py", line 18, in f1

if( t == s.encode('utf-8') ):

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd9 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

事实上，我从sqlite数据库收到字符串s，我不知道s的编码。

有趣的是，对于一些来自dbf1的字符串s却没有出错！

似乎f1只对某些特定的编码有效。有什么解决方案可以对字符串s的所有编码有效吗？在
