You seem to be using PyPE 2.7.1, specifically either the source with an
ansi build of wxPython, or the ansi PyPE Windows distribution.

PyPE 2.7.2 includes some fixes for better handling of unicode files, but
only if those files are opened with the windows unicode version, or
using the source with a unicode version of wxPython.

You can attempt to force using unicode (if you are running from source)
by passing --unicode on the command line.
