Comment:
The problem is fixed in IPython 0.13 (see ticket #12719) :
{{{
Python 2.7.3 (default, Jul 19 2012, 21:24:57)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IPython 0.13 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
? -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help -> Python's own help system.
object? -> Details about 'object', use 'object??' for extra details.
In [1]: 'é'
Out[1]: '\xc3\xa9'
In [2]: u'é'
Out[2]: u'\xe9'
}}}
and was also fixed in IPython 0.12.1 :
{{{
Python 2.7.2 (default, May 9 2012, 21:52:56)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IPython 0.12.1 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.

Out[2]: u'\xe9'
}}}
For now, I think we don't know how long will take #12719 (yesterday,
William Stein found serious bug with it and discouraged its use). So if it
takes one or two Sage version before merging #12719, maybe meanwhile we
can find a way to change the default encoding of ipython from 'latin1' to
'utf-8' ?
