Transforming documents containing unicode about premailer

[jfernstad]

Still seeing Unicode issues in v2.9.6, this time it's UnicodeEncodeError.

python -m premailer --base-url=http://google.com/ -f input.html -o output.html

Traceback (most recent call last):

To add some more information, this happens in HTML files using & nbsp; somewhere. The parser probably converts this to the 0xA0 'NO-BREAK SPACE' character, breaking the encoding process.

Is there a solution for this issue? I'm having the same problem--my HTML has a "&deg" character.
