unicode error

[articstranger]

Hi I've been trying out the program but i run into a unicode error when trying out certain files.
I have tried to follow their advice and put the encoding at several places but it doesnt seem to work. Do you know where i should change it?

The error message is as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I could look at enforcing unicode, but if you have a non-unicode item, it may cause issues.
