Joe, does this code work for you?

s = '\x88'
u = s.decode('cp850')

If it does work fine, then either you don't supply the 
<encoding> argument to decode/encode, or you try to print 
the result; in either of these two cases, it's not a Python bug.

PS Since e-circumflex is \x88 for you, I assume you run this in 
the Python command line.
