I did some more experiments, here are the results:
Windows XP, from cmd.exe (cp850):
Py 2.x:
>>> raise SystemExit(u'aeiou') # unicode string, ascii chars, works fine
aeiou
>>> raise SystemExit(u'àèìòù') # unicode string, non-ascii chars, no output
>>> raise SystemExit('àèìòù') # byte strings, non-ascii chars, works fine
àèìòù
Py 3.0:
>>> raise SystemExit('àèìòù') # unicode string, non-ascii chars, wrong
output
àèìòù
The output here is utf-8 and cmd shows it as cp850.
Linux, UTF-8 terminal:
Py 2.x:
>>> raise SystemExit(u'àèìòù') # unicode string, non-ascii chars, no output
There's no output even if the terminal uses utf-8.
Py 3.x:
>>> raise SystemExit('àèìòù') # unicode string, non-ascii chars, works fine
àèìòù
When a unicode string with non-ascii characters is passed:
* Py2 always fails (no output);
* Py3 works only when the terminal uses utf-8, otherwise it fails (the
chars are displayed using another encoding).
