I got plenty of these recently, but it was all my fault. I was trying to 
output some unicode strings with non-english characters and it took me 
some time until I got it right.
If you have strings in .py files, which contain non-english characters, 
try the following:

- save your .py files as utf8
- put a comment on the first, or second line of the file:
   # coding: utf8
   this takes care of python's warning
- decode all offending strings:
   'some string'.decode('utf8')
