Wait!
I get a decode error when python tries to automatically decode a bytestring
assuming it to be utf-8 encoded.
I am sure the error will disappear, when I try to decode it explicit using
utf-8. Heureka! I got it!

Or in other words:
If a big stone falls on my foot accidently, it hurts.

But I am sure it will not hurt, if take that same stone and throw it on my foot.

Heureka! I got it!
