I am answer my own question. I found this (not-nice line for MACs) line in my py code:
reload(sys); sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8') # DO NOT USE ON A MAC!! For some reason this reload is OK on Windows and the GAE but not on the Mac local version - errors it out. I do not know why MacBook Airs (Lion) do not like this. I can understand why I got no replies now. ha ha!
