How can I resubmit my solution to have opportunity to participate in the second stage? I've just rebuilded it for 64bit system. It was real mess and I had VM with name 64bit, but actually it was 32 bit.

The issue with "UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character" on top and thread commands, 90% because you are trying to save output to file like: "tgnews threads source_dir > out.txt" and by naked system settings this out.txt have ascii codec. The question is: do you save that output to file that way? If yes, so... there wasn't in task description about "> out.txt" and in any case about ascii format of the output.
+ want to mention that "This UTF-8 encoding can't convert to UTF-16:" line NOT in stdout :)
Please, comment on these mentions.
