ppic, you're probably treating a utf-8 string with a different locale, or you're treating a non-unicode string as unicode. simplest fix is probably to use the u prefix in python.
u"foo" = a unicode string
"foo" = a string in the configured locale.

Have done a little more testing, and have partly resolved this.
1. OSX - completely resolved. Web server was disabled on this box. Enabling it fixed things - i didn't actually realise this was a requirement for the script to run. It should give an error about this in the log. Verified working with both local and mysql database.
2. Linux - going to do a little more checking and will post back soon.

OK have checked web server is running on the linux box and it is.
Tried running script and failed, tried to download a single logo too and that failed.

ok i thought that local webserver was always on
i'll see if i can check that.
the behaviour you have in linux is strange, script doesn't seems to launch too here !

this is a regression. the http api should be usable from scripts even if server is disabled.

ok, i was thinking it should work that way, thank spiff.

Hmm only slightly odd thing about the linux box is xbmc is built using external python. I think 2.6.2 could this be causing the issue?
Anyway to add some more verbose logging?
Is it possible to run this script from the console - if so what param's should i pass to it to test?

yes external python is a recipe for disaster.

So far everything has worked - I'm using openelec's linux image on a revo. All the scripts / addon's I've tried up until now have been fine....
