I can tell you what's happening, but maybe not how to fix it.

src.decode() is creating a unicode string.  The error is not happening
there.  But when print is used with a unicode string, it has to encode
the data.  And for whatever reason, yours is using latin-1, and you have
a character in there which is not in the latin-1 encoding.

My python 2.7 uses utf-8 everywhere (on Linux Ubuntu 11.04).
