You decode from on character set to a unicode object
You encode from a unicode object to a specifed character set
Pretty close:

Think of characters a "conceptual" -- you encode a character
string into a bunch of bytes (unicode -> bytes) in ord

If you now, and for all time, decide that the only source you will take
is cp1252, perhaps you should decode to cp1252 before hashing.
Of course my dyslexia sticks out here as I get encode and decode exactly
backwards -- Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch has it right.

Actually, what I am surprised by, is the fact that hashlib cares at
all about the encoding. A md5 hash can be produced for an .iso file
which means it can handle bytes, why does it care what it is being

I know that the "Python roadmap" answer to such question

It is the (default) ascii encoder that does not like non-ascii chars.
