Well, since the symptom went away, the test of the repr(name1) doesn't 
tell us anything one way or the other.

i suspect there's a configurable setting in your IDE as to whether you 
want to use Unicode or not, for raw_input.  The IDE is probably 
intercepting the standard readline code and supplying its own, perhaps 
in order to support some special keys that tell the IDE to do various 
things to your program.

Anyway, one theory would be that this setting somehow got activated, but 
restarting the IDE changed it back to its default.

Have you looked for a mailing list for that program?  There is usually 
some form of interaction with most non-trivial open-source projects.
