Does anyone know what needs to be done when receiving this error?

UnicodeEncodeError 'latin-1' codec can't encode character u'\u201c' in position 69622: ordinal not in range(256)

I have been searching online but I have not gotten a solid resolution.

Well, all you need stands out very clear in the error message ;) the Character u'\u201c' burried somewhere in a string you want to output, has an ordinal number of 8220. And 8220 is far bigger then 256 - which is the upper bound for latin-1 alphabet. Just remove it or read on at:

help(u"".encode)

Help on built-in function encode: encode(...) S.encode([encoding[,errors]]) -> string Return an encoded string version of S. Default encoding is the current default string encoding. errors may be given to set a different error handling scheme. Default is 'strict' meaning that encoding errors raise a UnicodeEncodeError. Other possible values are 'ignore', 'replace' and 'xmlcharrefreplace' as well as any other name registered with codecs.register_error that can handle UnicodeEncodeErrors. you can explicitely use yourstring.encode("iso-8859-1",'ignore') or some of the other options above.
