Summary: Unicode error when handling non-ASCII network errors
Initial Comment:
The error handler for Site.postData in wikipedia.py line 5248 (in r8821) casts an
exception to a string:
except Exception, e:
output(u'%s' %e)
This will fail with a UnicodeDecodeError if the exception message contains non-ASCII
characters (which is often the case for network error messages on non-English Windows).
