The standard solution for doctests is to never use print in these cases.
Rather, just display the string value, which will appear with hex
encoding for any non-ASCII characaters. The output is then completely
safe from decoding problems. This is what we do throughout the Django
internal tests whenever the output is likely to produce non-ASCII
characters.
