FWIW, it works for me with Python 3:
$ x=$(/c/Python32/python -c print\(\'\\xe9\'\))

$ echo $x
é

I don't know how to get it to work with more than one command to Python;
bash always thinks the next commands are for it:
$ x=$(/c/Python32/python -c import sys; print\(sys.output.encoding\);
print\(\'\\xe9\'\))
  File "<string>", line 1
    import
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
bash: print(sys.output.encoding): command not found
bash: print('\xe9'): No such file or directory

This is using a very old MinGW bash, though.
