It does, as long as headline and caption *can* actually be encoded as
macroman. After you decode headline from utf-8 it will be unicode and
not all unicode characters can be mapped to macroman:
>>> u'\u0160'.encode('utf8')
'\xc5\xa0'
>>> u'\u0160'.encode('latin2')
'\xa9'
>>> u'\u0160'.encode('macroman')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "D:\python\2.4\lib\encodings\mac_roman.py", line 18, in encode
return codecs.charmap_encode(input,errors,encoding_map)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\u0160' in position
