New issue 666 by pekka.klarck: Starting execution from Python fails if
stdout/stderr is replaced with StringIO (or any object not having encoding)
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=666
We got a bug report with the following traceback to internal mailing list.
Easy to fix by checking does __stdout__ and __stderr__ have encoding
attribute before accessing it.
