I think Mark said he's piping the output. In this case it's not looking at the current console/terminal encoding. Instead it defaults to the platform's preferred encoding. On Windows that's the system ANSI encoding, such as codepage 1252. You can set PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8 to override this for stdin, stdout, and stderr. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
