In that case can you put all the code in a separate file rather 
than type it at the interpreter - it'll save you work too!
Call it formula.py or something...

Then import the file and send us the file and all of the output. 
That should generate more error output...

>>> import formula.py

Finally, to get unicode errors should require a string. 
Can you search for quorte characters - ' or " in your code.
An unmatched quote might be doing something odd.

Just a thought,
