The problem is the expression: unicode(string) which is equivalent to
saying string.decode('ascii')
The string contains a non-ascii character so the decode fails. You should
specify whatever encoding you used for the source file. From the error
message it looks like you used utf-8, so "string.decode('utf-8')" should
give you a unicode string to work with.
