Right. You're running in a locale whose encoding is UTF-8, but feeding data which isn't valid UTF-8 to stdin. If you want to use data with a different encoding, you need to replace sys.stdin, e.g.: import sys import io sys.stdin = io.TextIOWrapper(sys.stdin.detach(), encoding = 'iso-8859-1') -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
