[2.5.1] ShiftJIS to Unicode?

[Gilles Ganault]

Hello

	I'm trying to read pages from Amazon JP, whose web pages are
supposed to be encoded in ShiftJIS, and decode contents into Unicode
to keep Python happy:

www.amazon.co.jp
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=Shift_JIS"
/> 

But this doesn't work:

======
m = try.search(the_page)
if m:
	#UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in
position 49-55: character maps to <undefined>		
	title = m.group(1).decode('shift_jis').strip()
======

Has someone successfully accessed Shift-JIS-encoded Japanese contents
with Python?

Thank you.
