The error is a "decode" error, and as far as I can tell, decoding
happens when you convert a regular string to a unicode string. So, is
there an implicit conversion taking place from s1 to a unicode string
before encode() is called? By what mechanism? 6 2335

Converting from unicode characters into a string of bytes is the "encode"
operation: unicode.encode( ) -str
Converting from string of bytes to unicode characters is the "decode"
operation: str.decode() -unicode
str.decode and unicode.encode should NOT exist, or at least issue a
warning (IMHO).
When you try to do str.encode, as the encode operation requires an unicode
source, the string is first decoded using the default encoding - and fails.

It sounds like horrible idea as those are the ones that are really needed.
One could argue about `str.encode` and `unicode.decode `. But there are at
least uses for `str.encode` like 'sting-escape', 'hex', 'bz2', 'base64'
etc.

Indeed, in Py3k, those will be gone.

Yep. You are trying to encode a string. The problem is that strings are
already encoded, so it generally makes no sense to call .encode() on
them.
..encode()ing a string can be handy if you want to convert its encoding.
In such a case, though, Python will first convert the string to Unicode.
To do that, it has to know how the string is encoded. Unless you tell it
otherwise, Python assumes the string is encoded in ascii. You had a byte
in there that was out of ascii's range...thus, the error. Python was
trying to decode the string, assumed it was ascii, but that didn't work.
This is all very confusing; I'd highly recommend reading this bit about
Unicode. It started me down the difficult road of actually understanding
what is going on here. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html

for a small website, based off of phpnuke. running on a 2.4 down / 512 up

is it worth encoding the site using zend safeguard suite ? overall, for

I've recently come upon an odd Javascript (and/or browser) behavior,
and after hunting around the Web I still can't seem to find an answer.
Specifically, I have noticed that the Javascript encode() function
behaves differently if a codepage has been set.
For example:
<script>
document.write(escape('Ôèëìè'));
(note: that should be five accented characters)

i stumbled on this situation, that is if I decode some string, below

with a LookupError. This seems like something to be corrected?
