It does not seem to work on my news server (news.trigofacile.com):
print(s.descriptions('*'))
Exception raised with an UnicodeEncodeError. I do not know what is happening.
The same command works fine with Python 2.7 and 3.0.
Also, for AUTHINFO, be careful that nntplib should not send an UTF-8 string but a byte string. (I have not tested.)
The username and the password are byte strings.
