The encode and decode methods have the ability to ignore errors or to replace offending characters.
https://docs.python.org/2/library/codec ... se-classes
IMHO for log messages errors='replace' makes more sense then the default errors='strict' combined with handling the exception.
Because in your current solution the whole message gets lost (and replaced).

just tested, looks good to me on debian jessie.

Saw in CalculiX manual the maximum lenght for material name is 80 charakters http://web.mit.edu/calculix_v2.7/Calcul ... de216.html

Should we check this too?
