A much simpler demo of what is wrong:

  sfere$ python -c 'print u"\xA9";'
  <a copyright symbol>
  sfere$ python -c 'print u"\xA9";' >/dev/null
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa9' in position 
0: ordinal not in range(128)
  sfere$ python -V
  Python 2.4.4

Is there any likelihood of this getting fixed?  It makes Python
useless for use with any kind IO redirection, e.g. in pipelines.
