Hmm... apparently that's not allowed on Windows XP:
C:\> chcp 65001
Active code page: 65001
C:\> python -c "for i in range(0x410, 0x430): print unichr(i).encode('utf-8')"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied
This works though:
C:\> python -c "for i in range(0x410, 0x430): print unichr(i).encode('utf-8')"
> x
C:\> type x
[a bunch of Cyrillic letters]
Hmm... "more x" doesn't work, while "copy x con" works but gives an error.
Looks like Windows XP support UTF-8 console output is a bit half-assed.
