Unicode encode error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a test script
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

from wikitools import wiki
from wikitools import api

# create a Wiki object
site = wiki.Wiki("http://www.wikitau.org/api.php") 
# define the params for the query
params = {'action':'query', 'titles':'Accueil'}
# create the request object
request = api.APIRequest(site, params)
# query the API
result = request.query()

2. run it :
./test.py

What is the expected output?
I supose I would get the content of the Main page

What do you see instead?
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wikitools/wiki.py", line 109, in setSiteinfo
    setattr(self, attr, Namespace(ns))
