Sounds like an encoding problem. Firstly, are you using Python 2 or Python 3? Things will be slightly different, since the default 'str' object in Py3 is Unicode. I would guess that your page is being output as UTF-8; you may find that the solution is as easy as declaring the encoding of your text file when you read it in.
