remote_string = u'\u20ac'
try:
local_string = remote_string.encode('mbcs')
except:
# no mbcs equivalent available
print "encoding error"
else:
# local_string is now an 8-bit string
print "result:", local_string
# if console is not mbcs, you should see incorrect result
assert result == '\x80'
Mbcs is windows-only so I couldn't test this.
If your application handles text, it may be easier to just leave everything
in Unicode and encode to utf-8 for storage?
