On OSX 10.5 Terminal sets the LANG environment variable, which pythonrun.c picks up to set the encoding of sys.stdout when that's connected to a tty. Printing arbitary unicode strings therefore works fine on my system (at least using python 2.5, I haven't used 3.0 yet). I haven't checked if other OS releases behave simularly.
