title: Unicode error xlwings
body: <p>I'm relatively new to programming so I'm sorry if I don't provide enough information. OS: Mac OS X 10.10.3. From Excel (2011, 14.4.5) I'm calling python xlwings (0.3.5).</p>
  
  <p>The objective is to print a string with a danish character. 
  The VBA code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Sub PrintText()
  RunPython ("import test_file; test_file.print_text()")
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Python code:</p>
  
  <pre><code># -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
  from xlwings import Workbook, Sheet, Range, Chart
  
  
  def print_text():
      wb = Workbook.caller()  # Creates a connection with a new workbook
      print('å')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Output (unfortunately I don't have point's for posting picture):</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error</p>
    
    <p>line 7, in print_text print('\xe5')</p>
    
    <p>UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe5' in
    position 0: ordinal not in range(128)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I also wonder why the dialog box shows 'Error', when there is no error (for example print('a')?</p>
