Hey i have created a program that turns a string into a binary one. But when i 
began to test the program it turned out that it could not handle  some special 
characters (e.g ÆØÅ). Could someone please help me?   

p.s i am a newbie so if you have any comments on the source code please let me 
know  

here is the source code:

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: Latin-1 -*-
import os, sys
import sys

def ChooSe():
        print
        print " encrypt " 
        print " quit    "
        print
        
        choice = raw_input("What do you need: ")
        
        if choice == "encrypt": 
                encrypt()
        elif choice == "quit": 
                kExit()
        else:
                print "Invalid choice"
                ChooSe()         

def kExit():
        xit = raw_input("Do you really want to quit? ")
        kY = ('y','Y','yes','yah','yeah')
        kN = ('n','N','no','nah')
        if xit in kN:
                ChooSe()
        elif xit in kY:
                print "Goodbye!"
                print
                sys.exit()
        else:
                print "Invalid choice"
                ChooSe()
