I think Mark said he's piping the output. In this case it's not
looking at the current console/terminal encoding. Instead it defaults
to the platform's preferred encoding. On Windows that's the system
ANSI encoding, such as codepage 1252. You can set
PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8 to override this for stdin, stdout, and stderr.
