Unicode problem

[gargravarr at whoever.com]

I have a problem with Unicode strings, the error I get is:
	UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

It is caused by 
	body.write('<h2>%s</h2>\n' % i.firstChild.data)

Where body is a StringIO object, and i is a xml.dom.minidom object.
The characters it reacts to is the 3 Norwegian 'extra' ones: æ, ø, å
 (if you can see them)

Using Python2.2 on Win32

Help appreciated

Thansk in advance!
