Character encoding & the copyright symbol

[Robert Dailey]

Hello,

I'm loading a file via open() in Python 3.1 and I'm getting the
following error when I try to print the contents of the file that I
obtained through a call to read():

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\xa9' in
position 1650: character maps to <undefined>

The file is defined as ASCII and the copyright symbol shows up just
fine in Notepad++. However, Python will not print this symbol. How can
I get this to work? And no, I won't replace it with "(c)". Thanks!
