Your problem is the 'coding' line. This fails in an ASP environment, as ASP
itself has already decoded the string and passes it to Python directly as
Unicode. A 'coding' line in Unicode source code makes no sense, and Python
complains.
But sadly, pywin32 then failed to handle this error correctly. The problem
was more severe in Python 2.5 than earlier versions. I've checked a fix for
pywin32 in, but this does not solve your original problem; simply remove the
coding line, and ensure you use characters in whatever encoding ASP itself
expects.
Hope this helps,
Mark
