File "C:\Python26\lib\socket.py", line 406, in readline data = self.sock.recv(self.rbufsize) socket.error: [Errno 10054] A lÚtez§ kapcsolatot a tßvoli ßllomßs kÚnyszerÝtette n bezßrta That is pretty good mojibake. One of the problems of providing localized error messages is that the messages may be messed up at different stages. The original text was A létező kapcsolatot a távoli állomás kényszerítetten bezárta. It was printed in iso88592 (ISO standard for Eastern European) then those bytes were pasted in as if they were cp852 (MS-DOS Eastern European). text = "A létező kapcsolatot a távoli állomás kényszerítetten bezárta." print(str(text.encode('iso88592'), 'cp852'))

Which is to say that pasting the 'message' into a translator would not work to well ;-) Which is to say that the original really should be included.
