To convert unicode into str you have to *encode()* it.u"...".decode(...) will implicitly convert to ASCII first, i. e. is equivalent to u"...".encode("ascii").decode(...) Hence the error message
Ah - yes of course. And how can you use the system's default encoding with errors=ignore?The default encoding is the one that is used if no parameters are given to "encode".
