Hi Chris,

according to http://wiki.python.org/moin/UnicodeEncodeError this is what  
you get when you try and encode a unicode codepoint to a charset which  
cannot represent it. The error message appears to depend upon the charset:


>>> u'\u203a'.encode("iso-8859-15")
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File  
"/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/encodings/iso8859_15.py",  
line 12, in encode
     return codecs.charmap_encode(input,errors,encoding_table)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\u203a' in  
position 0: character maps to <undefined>
>>> u'\u203a'.encode("latin-1")
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character u'\u203a' in  
position 0: ordinal not in range(256)

ISO-8859-15 is, of course, Latin-1 + the €
