Unless you are using python 3.0 (which I doubt, afaik no wx available), 
your above coding declaration is useless for the shown piece of code, as 
it only applies to unicode literals, which are written with a preceding u.

So

u"mönsch ist doch nicht so schwer"


gives you an unicode literal, that wx might work with (don't know wx)

And of course you need to make sure your editor produces utf-8 as 
output, otherwise the exercise is futile as well.
