I don't know the answer. I think Python 2.6.6 believes the byte in
position 174552 is unicode encoded as utf8 but in fact it isn't.

Do you know which file was involved? Perhaps the full traceback will
have a clue?

The first thing I would do is upgrade to Python 2.7.5. After doing that
I would put the following two lines at the top of all my own python .py
files ...

from __future__ import unicode_literals
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

... I have no idea if that will work but I believe it persuades Python
to treat everything as unicode.

You don't mention which editor you are using.

You could try downloading/using Notepad++ which has an encoding tool. It
will tell you what the encoding actually is for the file which was
involved. You can then select utf8 and save to change it.
