The problem is that in Python 2, source text must be ASCII. So you need
to escape any non-ASCII characters using \x or \u escapes or something else.
I've tried patching PL/Python so that it automatically inserts a
"coding" declaration per PEP-263, but I haven't gotten that to work yet.
Your example works fine with Python 3, which expects UTF-8 source
encoding, so maybe that's an option for you. (Although now that I think
about it, that might have failure scenarios in other database encodings.)
