I'm not sure how much of the problem is python and how much is
Scribus.  Put this into a file and run it at a command prompt:

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
MonthList = ['Januar', 'Februar', 'M'+u'\xe4'+'rz']
for Month in range(3):
	print MonthList[Month]

It should display the "a" in "Marz" with an umlaut (diaeresis)
over it.

But when run as a Scribus script, the array assignment line is
where it fails.  I may be missing something obvious.  I haven't
really needed to deal with non-ASCII characters much so I may
be doing something fundamentally wrong.
