To some degree it depends on what you are printing on,
it needs to support unicode. Not all terminals do.
Secondly it needs to be set to unicode for its character
encoding and it appears from the error condition that
yours is set to ascii...
You could try setting
PYTHONIOENCODING="UTF-8"
in your OS shell and see if that helps, but I suspect
there's a better way to deal with it...
PS. You can check the current setting with:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.encoding
If it says ascii (or anything other than a Unicode setting)
then that's almost certainly your problem.
