Hmm, that looks like a configuration difference between the two,
rather than a major breaking difference. It'll depend on the console
settings; if you're running 2.6 from cron, but 2.7 from the console
(or the other way around), you'll see stuff like this break.

It's also possible that a bug was discovered, of course, but what
exactly the bug is, I can't say. The error you're seeing is perfectly
correct: you have Unicode character U+2018 (a curly quote) in your
stream, and the print statement is trying to send that to a Latin-1
output, and that's not going to work. The question is, why is your
console believed to be set to Latin-1? And if encoding UTF-8 works,
then there's something very VERY wrong. (Unless by "works" you just
mean "doesn't throw an error", and the UTF-8 bytes are being
interpreted as Latin-1 bytes.)
