It's failing with this when I run eclipse or when I run my script in iPython:

'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 32: ordinal not in range(128) 

I don't know why, but when I simply execute the feedparse.parse(url) statement using the same url, there is no error thrown. This is stumping me big time.

The code is as simple as: try: d = feedparser.parse(url) except Exception, e: logging.error('Error while retrieving feed.') logging.error(e) logging.error(formatExceptionInfo(None)) logging.error(formatExceptionInfo1())

Here is the stack trace:

d = feedparser.parse(url)
