This is the exact same code as the one above - there is no type declaration
in python, so your
uni = u''
statement is bollocks.
And I seriously doubt, that the above code and the above error message are
related - as you can see, the error is from cp850, a windows codepage. But
that isn't in the code above - so there must be something else happening.
Please provide the full script, and the desired input - then we might be
able to help you.
