What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Debian Linux, gcalcli 2.1-1 (latest testing).

Please provide any additional information below.

My calendar has events with Hungarian and German accented characters.

I have the same problem. I tried to look in to the UTF-8 stuff but it's quite 
confusing. As a workaround I created the attached patch.

I guess it was my fault for adopting a unicode-support patch ;)
I have just now pushed fix for this version into Debian and you can see 
complete patch related to this issue at

Yaroslav, your patch only fixes the issue for python2.7.
In 2.6 (Debian Squeeze), it still throws an exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 1525, in <module>
    BowChickaWowWow()
  File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 1470, in BowChickaWowWow

  File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 236, in PrintMsg
    sys.stdout.write(cunicode(msg))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xdc' in position 
98: ordinal not in range(128)

the fix is to use "print" instead of "sys.stdout.write" as suggested in comment 
1.

I still have this issue with gcalcli 2.1-2, installed via the Ubuntu 
repositories, and running Ubuntu 12.04. FWIW I have python 2.7. I do not have 
non-unicode characters in my calendar. I created a reduced test case for you to 
troubleshoot. (Feel free to modify the google calendar as you please.) Running 
"$ gcalcli --user gcalclitest --pw gcalclitest1 calw 2" works fine, but "$ 
gcalcli --nc --user gcalclitest --pw gcalclitest1 calw 2" fails with:
