[Tutor] Unicode in List Object

[Roman Kreuzhuber]

Thanks for the quick response!
I see! Oh I didn't realize that it's not the list which raises an error.
For a test I tried to insert a string containing a unicode character as 
follows:

ListObject = []
ListObject.insert(0,u"Möälasdji")

which raises: "SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xfc' in file C:\python 
proj\lists\main.py on line 48, but no encoding declared; see 
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details"

I then tried:

ListObject = []
ListObject.insert(0,u"Möälasdji".encode('utf-8'))

without success...

So would this error have been raised too if this was an input from a 
GUI-text-object?
I'm sorry for this silly question but I'm more or less completely new to 
python and never encountered similar errors with different languages
