Something's trying to decode a stream of bytes as UTF-8, and it's not
UTF-8. Work out what in your code is bytes and what is strings, and do
your own conversions.

READ IT. Do not write another line of code until you actually
understand what he's saying there.

okey i will, but isnt this just weird:
How come all these daysthe followinf line work as expected:
host = socket.gethostbyaddr( ipval ) [0]
and only just today just happened to output:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb6 in position 0:
invalid start byte erros?
Nothign got added in my script. This is the only line that tried to
determine the host.
This is the nature of Unicode pain in Python 2 (Python 3 has a different
kind!). This may help you understand what's going on:
