What does sys.stdout.encoding say? In Python 2.x, at least, that attribute should reflect the capabilities of your environment (specifically, the character encoding) and help determine whether it makes sense for Python to try and encode Unicode objects (plain strings in Python 3.x) using a particular output encoding when printing those objects to the display.
