Ah, I answered you on the Italian NG before seeing you had also posted
the same request here.  What I proposed there was (untested):

import codecs 

_rimedi = { u'\x2019': "'" }

def rimedia(exc): 
    if isinstance(exc, (UnicodeEncodeError, UnicodeTranslateError)): 
        erore = exc.object[exc.start:exc.end]
        if len(erore)==1 and erore in _rimedi: return _rimedi[erore] 
    raise exc
codecs.register_error('rimedia', rimedia) 

outf = codecs.open('filename.txt', 'w', 'iso-8859-15', errors='rimedia')
