Are you advocating that Python should refuse to write characters unless
the encoding is specified? I could sympathise with that, but currently
that's not what Python does; instead it defaults to the ASCII codec.

But when you explicitly redirect to a file, it's *not* going to a TTY.
It's going to a file whose encoding isn't known unless you specify it.
