Yes.  Make sure your program is valid Python.

    print a.encode('utf-8')
Add this character       ^

However, this is the error Python would give for the code you had in
your message, so the error must come from something besides the Python
tokenizer/parser:
>>> print a.encode('utf-8)
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    print a.encode('utf-8)
                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid token
