This is because gcalcli want to split long string into multiple lines during 
layout. 
And it break the string in the middle of a unicode character, thus python 
complaint 
incomplete unicode character.

Attach the patch.

It fixes _GetCutIndex() and _GraphEvents() for utf-8 text.

The patch didn't help. I have the same error running "gcalcli calm" on Cygwin,
Windows XP, Python 2.5 installed under Cygwin:

Still no fix?

It's the encoding again :( The bug occurs, when a strange character äöüß or 
something
else is used somewhere. So one should insert .decode("utf") s  everywhere, 
until it
works again.

for example in my case 

in gcalcli line 626 do:

'  %-7s  %s\n' % (tmpTimeStr, event.title.text.decode("utf")))

/G

Here is a simple patch that fixes the UnicodeDecodeError.
