you cannot just pass in 8-bit strings in arbitrary encodings and expect the XML-
RPC layer to automagically figure out what you're doing.

you can either use the encoding option to the ServerProxy constructor to tell
the proxy what encoding to assume for 8-bit strings:

    proxy = ServerProxy(uri, encoding="iso-8859-1")

(see

    http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-xmlrpclib.html

for details)

or you can do things the right way and use Unicode strings for non-ASCII text.
