Thanks for the explanation. Of course I didn't want to mix Unicode and Latin
in one string, my snippet just tried to illustrate the p

Ah, I did not realize that. I never mix Unicode and byte strings in the
first place, and now I know why. Thanks for clearing

it's '%s -> %s' % (byte string, unicode string) that barfs. try

Specifically, it says:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xf6 in position 0:
ordinal not in range(128)
which doesn't make sense to me, because I specifically asked for the
iso8859-1 decoder, n
Here's a test snippet...
import sys
for k in sys.stdin:
print '%s -> %s' % (k, k.decode('iso-8859-1'))
...but it barfs when actually fed with iso8859-1 characters. How is this
done right?
