First, what version of what os, and what version of python? 

Next,  what terminal are you running,  or what ide, and do you have 
stdout redirected? 

Finally what does your program look like, or at least tell us the 
type and represents of s [0].

Bottom line is that s [0] contains a code point that's larger than 7f 
and print is convinced that your terminal can handle only ASCII.
