Unicode error with ado in win 32

[Neo]

I've created a simple script which read and print on the interactive window
the data from a database field (sql server 7).
It work properly but when into the rs.fields('azienda') theres the string
"abbà" the script returns the following message.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "g:\programmi\Python20\Pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py",
line 298, in RunScript
    debugger.run(codeObject, __main__.__dict__, start_stepping=0)
  File "g:\programmi\Python20\Pythonwin\pywin\debugger\__init__.py", line

    _GetCurrentDebugger().run(cmd, globals,locals, start_stepping)

    print unicode(a)

__str__
    return str(self.__call__())
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

I've try to translate the string into my regional unicode character set, but
it not work.

Help me please.

The strange kind is that using an ODBC connection this error not appear.
Thanks.

dataconn.Open (strConn)
sql="select * from GpAzienda ;"
rs.Open(sql, dataconn)
while not rs.eof:
    a = gettext.gettext(rs.Fields('azienda'))
    print a
    rs.MoveNext()

del rs
del dataconn
