title: Transform unicode string in python
body: <pre><code>{u'Status': u'OK', u'City': u'Ciri\xe8', u'TimezoneName': '', u'ZipPostalCode': '', u'CountryCode': u'IT', u'Dstoffset': u'0', u'Ip': u'x.x.x.x', u'Longitude': u'7.6', u'CountryName': u'Italy', u'RegionCode': u'12', u'Latitude': u'45.2333', u'Isdst': '', u'Gmtoffset': u'0', u'RegionName': u'Piemonte'}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the output of my object. I would like to access City but It's encoded. How can I read all parameters and decode it</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; data['City']
  u'Ciri\xe8'
  
  &gt;&gt;&gt;data['City'].decode('utf-8')
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
    File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
      return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
  UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe8' in position 4: ordinal not in range(128)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want plaintext not unicode string. Thank you!</p>
