The IDLE shell (now) is friendlier to unicode, supporting the entire 
BMP. So you may have more success loading into an IDLE editor and 
running from there with F5. Or perhaps execfile in the shell (I never 
tried this). Of course, import and pdb in the shell work. This all 
depends on what 'debugging' means to you.

I don't know if IDLE was different then.
