In the working case your initial string is a bytestring, in the non-working
case the initial string is unicode. The error comes from trying to replace
into a unicode string a bytestring containing non-ascii chars:
>>> s = u'asd'
>>> s = s.replace("s", "š")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc5 in position 0:
ordinal not in range(128)
One fix it to specify the replacement string as a unicode literal instead of
a bytestring:
>>> s = s.replace("s", u"š")
>>> print s
