[Tutor] unicode, utf-8 problem again

Hi!  I'm processing a large number of xml files that are all declared as utf-8 encoded in the header ie.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

My Python environment has been set for 'utf-8' through site.py.  Additionally, the top of each program/module has the declaration:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

But, I still get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
...
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u201c' in position 76: ordinal not in range(128)

What am I missing?

Dinesh
