If you are working with unicode, and you can upgrade to 3.3, you will 
probably we happier if you do. This does not solve all problems, but the 
python side is definitely better. (IE, there are unicode bugs in 2.7 
whose fix *is* to upgrade to 3.3.)

That said, retrieving

http://prf.icecat.biz/index.cgi?product_id=14688538;mi=start;smi=product;shopname=openICEcat-url;lang=fr

with Firefox on Win 7 returns a page containing

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

so I presume the http encoding is also utf-8

Also: printing to the screen in IDLE may work better than with the 
standard interactive console (especially the awful Windows version). I 
have the font set to Lucida Sans Unicode (this may be windows specific) 
which seems to works for all BMP (Basic Multilingual Plane) chars.
