I should have said that I'm using Wing IDE Professional 4.0.3-1 (rev
24721), Windows Vista, and Python 3.2.1.

No, no funny characters with Wing.

Thanks for your guess, Dave.

But here's a try using the regular command line:

C:\Windows\System32>python
Python 3.2.1 (default, Jul 10 2011, 20:02:51) [MSC v.1500 64 bit
(AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from mycalc import convertPath
Traceback (most recent call last):
