As Georg says: you shouldn't be mixing Unicode objects and string objects. It's perfectly valid for string.letters to contain non-ASCII bytes, and it's no surprise that this fails for you. string.letters indeed does contain only letters. In any case, testing for letter-ness by using "in string.letters" is not a good idea, as it involves a linear search. I recommend to use u"a".isalpha() instead
