Non-latin isn't the issue. Non-ASCII is what it's complaining about
("Latin" usually encompasses things like latin1, a.k.a. ISO-8859-1,
which contains plenty of non-ASCII characters).
If you were really interested in which characters were at issue here,
you could do something like this at the Python prompt (there are other
ways, too, of course, but this is the one-liner):
[p for (p, c) in enumerate(open('myfile').read()) if ord(c) >
127]
That will return a list of positions of characters that are non-ASCII.
