[python-win32] Non-ascii character in source code cause 'Exception occurred'

[aurora]

P.S. The script can actually process unicode, passing unicode text to and  
 from other COM objects. E.g.

   print u'\N{Euro Sign}'.encode('utf-8')

The only problem is the source code cannot have any non-ascii characters.
