it seems that the above needs extra stuff to make some distutils logging work 
etc etc; so now I'm using sitecustomize.py containing

import sys, codecs
sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter("utf-8")(sys.stdout.detach())
sys.stdout.encoding = 'utf8'
sys.stderr = codecs.getwriter("utf-8")(sys.stderr.detach())
sys.stderr.encoding = 'utf8'
