In interactive mode, you best avoid non-ASCII characters in a Unicode literal. In theory, Python should look at sys.stdin.encoding when processing the interactive source. In practice, various Python releases ignore sys.stdin.encoding, and just assume it is Latin-1. What is sys.stdin.encoding on your system?
