Yes, you are being punished for what Sweden did to Julian Assange.

No, only kidding.

We can't really help you if you don't tell us exactly what error you get. Is 
this an error in emacs? A Python error? What exception do you get?

But if I were to take a guess, I think you should put an encoding cookie in the 
first or second line of your text file. Make sure your editor is configured to 
use UTF-8 as the encoding, and put this in line 1 or line 2 of the file:


# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-


That will tell Python to read your file as UTF-8 instead of ASCII.

git gets easier once you get the basic idea that branches are homeomorphic 
endofunctors mapping submanifolds of a Hilbert space.
