I got it working with a utf-8 query by adding an Accept-Charset header to the
request. I used the 'Tamper Data' add-on to Firefox to view all the request
headers being sent by the browser. I added all the same headers to the Python
request and it worked. Then I took out the headers until I found
OK this is actually starting to make sense :-) Here is what I think is
happening:
You get different results in the IDE and the console because they are using
different encodings. The IDE is using utf-8 so the params are encoded in utf-8.
The console is using latin-1 and you get encoded latin-1

The Exception thrown is:
EXCEPTION ENCODING 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 4:
ordinal
not in range(128)
I was dealing w/ a Ascii string and was asking it to be encoded in UTF,
whereas Python is telling me he can't encode it in UTF?? Makes little sense
to

Hi,
How do I set the encoding of a string? I'm reading a string on a Entry
widget and it may use accents and other special characters from languages
other than English.
When I send the string read through a socket the socket is automatically
closed. Is there a way to encode any special characte
