Encoding DeprecationWarning

[oliver]

Hey There,

Sorry if I am missing something here, but I get a DeprecationWarning
when importing a list which has some unicode characters in it (it's a
list of countries -- it's being raised on Åland), and I am left
wondering why. I am using the syntax u' to denote a unicode string.

If anyone would be so kind; what am I doing wrong?

Many Thanks,
Oliver

OK, well; no matter. Perhaps I should try actually reading the article
it recommended and add:

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

To the file! What a doofus!

Thanks,
Oliver

Right, that's why I asked you to post the full warning message, to get
you to take another look at it. Mission accomplished ;)
