Your string is a unicode string (u'...') but you have UTF-8 encoded text inside it. Unicode is not UTF-8; UTF-8 is a way to represent unicode in ASCII. You should be able to fix it by either casting that string to str(), or by having "real" unicode inside it (difficult to say which is better without knowing how you're obtaining that string to begin with).
