Not sure what you are trying to do, and pretty sure that this is
definitely obvious for you and not related at all to GDAL, but it
seems to me that you are trying to encode in latin1 and ascii a string
that contains characters not present in those encodings:
>>> 'Спасибо'.encode('ascii')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position
0: ordinal not in range(128)
>>> 'Спасибо'.encode('latin-1')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position
0: ordinal not in range(128)
>>> 'simple characters'.encode('ascii')
'simple characters'
>>> 'simple characters'.encode('latin-1')
'simple characters'
