wxPython unicode handles all strings as unicode internally. I can't tell
you exactly where the conversion takes place as you didn't show the
complete grid code. I guess that even if you handle all the underlying
data in your own TableBase class, you cannot avoid to receive unicode
strings from the gui when a value has been entered in a grid cell. You
could try to convert them to string in your own SetCellValue method.
Then the GridCellRenderer should pick up the string values.
