I have a list of unicode objects and want to encode them to utf-8, but encoding doesn't seem to work.
the code is here :
>>> tmp = [u' test context']
>>> tmp.encode('utf-8')
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'encode'

You need to do encode on tmp[0], not on tmp.
tmp is not a string. It contains a (Unicode) string.
Try running type(tmp) and print dir(tmp) to see it for yourself.
You need to unicode each element of the list individually
[x.encode('utf-8') for x in tmp]
