It's a bit nit-picking, but shouldn't the '\ua3' in the
UnicodeEncodeError message below be '\xa3' or u'\xa3'?
 http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/strings.html
only allows for \uxxxx and \Uxxxxxxxx format specifiers.

>>> u"\N{POUND SIGN}"
u'\xa3'
>>> _.encode("ascii")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode
character '\ua3' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
>>> '\ua3'
'\\ua3'
>>> u'\ua3'
UnicodeDecodeError: 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode
bytes in position 0-3: end of string in escape sequence
