   That is pretty good mojibake. One of the problems of providing
localized error messages is that the messages may be messed up at
different stages. The original text was
A létező kapcsolatot a távoli állomás kényszerítetten bezárta.
   It was printed in iso8859_2 (ISO standard for Eastern European)
then those bytes were pasted in as if they were cp852 (MS-DOS Eastern
European).

text = "A létező kapcsolatot a távoli állomás kényszerítetten bezárta."
print(str(text.encode('iso8859_2'), 'cp852'))
