with open('../pytree.txt') as pytree, open('newpytree.txt','w') as pyout:
    for line in pytree:
        for char in line:
            newchar = char.decode('cp437')
            pyout.write(newchar)

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2502' in
position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

What's my error here, since I want to write to a file. I have python(x,y)
so printing that is kind of time-taking and not too illuminating ;')
