Hello

I'm getting this error while downloading and parsing web pages:

=====
    title = m.group(1)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position
48: ordinal  not in range(128)
=====

>From what I understand, it's because some strings are Unicode, and
hence contain characters that are illegal in ASCII.

Does someone know how to solve this error?

Thank you.
