[Tutor] UnicodeEncodeError

[gpo]

I'm doing a simple excercise in reading a file, and printing each line. 
However, I'm getting this error.  The file is a windows txt file, ecoded in
ANSI(ascii).  I don't understand why Pythin is displaying a Unicode error.  

Here is my script:

f=open('I:\\PythonScripts\\statement.txt')
for line in f:
    print (line)
f.close()

statement.txt is just a copy of the text from an article at
(http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/43296/98/) into notepad.

The error I get is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "I:\PythonScripts\fileloop.py", line 9, in 
    print (line)
  File "C:\Python31\lib\encodings\cp437.py", line 19, in encode
    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_map)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2014' in
position
10: character maps to 

I've looked this up, and see that others have had a similar error; however,
I don't see any thing saying what I should be encoding to/from since my
input and output files are both ascii.
