When I get an error, the first thing I do these days is google it:

http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=unicodeDecodeError%3A+%27utf8%27+codec+can%27t+decode+bytes+in+position+0-1%3A+illegal+encoding&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a

Which leads directly to:

http://bugs.python.org/issue1028

Bugs that exist in standard Python, that also exist in Stackless
Python, are a feature for us and not a bug.

Cheers,
Richard.
