My guess is that there is a mis-match between the code page you think 
you have, the code page you actually have, and the encoding that your 
terminal is set to.

I suspect though that you might need to take this to a specialist WConio 
mailing list, if there is one, or at least the main Python list: 
python at python.org or comp.lang.python.


Good luck, and if you do find the solution, don't forget to post it here 
for future reference.
