Example Python script not working from ESRI site

I wanted to test this Script, but I always get the following error after running:

Processed folder information successfully. Now processing services...

Traceback (most recent call last):

Other scripts have worked fine from the examples list - why doesn´t this one work?

Cheers,

Hello Rob,

This can happen when your map services contain some "strange" characters. If you keep the names simple, this will not happen.

I have checked the names of my services. The names consist of either english letters, numbers or an underscore. No "strange" characters exist

Ah...could be that it doesn´t work with Image Services.

Check again

>>> print(u'\xdf' )
