UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xdc' using findAll()

[humbleCoder]

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import urllib2

request = urllib2.Request("http://www.google.com")
fd = urllib2.urlopen(request)
gotit = fd.read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(gotit)
soup.findAll('a') <=== exception

i am testing the code usually with ipython, i get the following error
with findAll:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xdc' in
position 49: ordinal not in range(128)

any idea how to fix this problem or circumwent it?
thank you

Hmm..
I just check that on my machine, and it works fine. I am using WinXP,
Python 2.6.4

Did you try with soup.findAll(u'a') ?
