Summary: Problems with characters in replace.py

Initial Comment:
Hi!

When using the replace.py, I came to problem with
changing special Slavic charecters (which are presend
in Latinnic writing).

When I got a shell prompt, and I input the required old
and new word, it's OK. The script recognize special
characters and it displayes them before I approve the
change. But when I check the article after this move, I
see that characters are being replaced with others;
instead of:
- ž I get º
- š I get þ
- č I get ƒ

Could the problem be with recognizing such characters
(not correct UTF-8 code)?

Regards,
Klemen

I've this problem only with replace.py. Interwiki.py
recognized and inputs the correct characters, when adding
interwikis.
