Hello,

This is probably going to sound stupid, but here I go anyway. Please refer 
me to TFM if this is what I deserve. 

Is it normal to get UnicodeError when I try to print a unicode string with
Python 2.1?

>>> s=u'été'
>>> s
u'\xe9t\xe9'
>>> print s

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)
