MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Metadata download plugin help with text encoding disorder

I wouldnot say that my artist string is in list form. Fetching it and joining to reult string which initializes Metadata structure

Code:

authors = root.xpath('//h2[@class="authornames"]/span/a/text()')
if authors:
  authors = ' & '.join(authors).strip()
.
.
.
mi = Metadata(title, authors)

My issue seem to relate with unknown codepage in which Calibre operates the plugin.

If I parse the detail page in testing standalone script, all acuted string literals print out in proper form. If I print same string constants from plugin source, they print out in broken form, representing higher ascii characters in two byte unreadable chunks. But both plugin sources and testing script are saved in UTF-8 encoding.
