On my system print u"text" already does the right thing, even when the text contain non-ascii characters. This is with the system install of python. >>> import sys >>> sys.getdefaultencoding() 'ascii' >>> sys.stdout.encoding 'UTF-8' That's because the system (OSX 10.5) has set an environment variable that Python knows about: LANG=en_US.UTF-8.
