Somehow you get a unicode string and implicitly convert it into
a normal string.

  Python uses the "defaultencoding" for such conversions.
  If it is not specified in "sitecustomize.py", Python
  uses ASCII encoding. Thus, when you unicode string contains
  a non-ASCII character, you get the above exception.

As you live in a Western country, you probably should set
"sys.setdefaultencoding('iso-8859-1')" in your
"sitecustomize.py".
