Saurabh, first of all, you did not provide an error message, but it looks like a decoding/unicode issue.
Visit: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/368805/python-unicodedecodeerror-am-i-misunderstanding-encode The first answer should help a lot. Furthermore, this seems to be good literature on the field: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html http://docs.python.org/howto/unicode.html Regarding the application of # -*- coding: coding -*-, read here: http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/pytut/SourceCodeEncoding.html So, in your case it looks like a good idea to use e.g. UTF-8 as source encoding. Check the settings of the text editor you are using and set the source encoding to UTF-8 (if it does not allow this, you should use another editor). Then, tell (Iron)Python that your source code is encoded by UTF-8 by putting this into the file header: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-.
