Don't forget that the print function can simply be shadowed. If you
have a lot of code that uses print(...) to output text, and you want
to quickly transform it so it uses ASCII + backslash-replace, you
could simply:
def print(msg):
sys.stdout.write(msg.encode("ASCII",
errors="backslashreplace").decode("ASCII") + "\n")
or whatever other transformation you want. Your current situation may
be solved, but this is a great tool in your toolbox, and worth bearing
in mind.
