i had some troubles with non-english characters like "umlaut"/äöü. at least 
in older vestions of pythonwin deleting such a character did't deleted the 
character attribute. in this state pythonwin refused to save the file until 
i deleted that character too.

these problems _are_ fixed in PyWin 2.1 but maybe there is still a small 
bug left.
maybe it has to do something with broken two byte unicode characters in 
UTF8 encoding, but i don't realy know.

the best solution in cases where i counld't find the illegal character, was 
to copy the entire file and paste it in an other editor.
