Sorry- more detail- the actual problem is an exception thrown when running str() on the value, like so:
>>> a = u'St. Paul\u2019s School For Boys (MN) HS' >>> print str(a) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2019' in position 8: ordinal not in range(128) Is there some way to run str() against a unicode object? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
