Using the idlefork version of IDLE (instead of the older version previously =

distributed with VPython), I don't get a crash on the assignment of the 
Unicode string to "a", but I get a Unicode error in the print statement:

a =3D u'=A5d =B6=F0 =BA=B8 =A5b =AEq =B9q =B5=F8 =A5x =A9P =A5| =BC=BD =A5X =
=AC=FC =B0=EA =A4E =A4@ =A4@ =C5=A7 =C0=BB =A8=C6 =A5=F3 '
print a

Traceback (innermost last)
  File "Untitled", line 2, in ?
    print a
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)
