Maybe script doesn't correctly parse/encode non-Alphanumeric chars? [similar to Issue #109]

[GoogleCodeExporter]

= Versions

youtube-upload: 0.7.2
python: 2.7.3
python-gdata: 2.0.17+dfsg-1

= Describe the steps (including the command you run) that will reproduce
the problem?

I don't put the password option in, so it prompts me (which is good). I have 
non-alphanumeric chars in my email password. I have previously logged into the 
account and posted videos using the browser. Below is the error message I 
receive. I have tried the default method, as well and the api upload, and the 
error message is the same.

#locale charmap returns UTF-8

Any assistance/guidance is appreciated.
