不能处理unicode的中文字符？

[GoogleCodeExporter]

如题，这个函数不能处理unicode的中文字符串吗？
比如，cuttest(u"我喜欢python和c++。")
报错：
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\bluecat2\Desktop\smallseg_0.5.1\test_fenci.py", line 41, in <module>
    cuttest(u"我喜欢python和c++。")
  File "D:\bluecat2\Desktop\smallseg_0.5.1\test_fenci.py", line 18, in cuttest
    wlist = seg.cut(text)
  File "D:\bluecat2\Desktop\smallseg_0.5.1\smallseg.py", line 56, in cut
    text = text.decode('utf-8','ignore')
  File "C:\Python27\lib\encodings\utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
    return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
