Just a tip for those who are only just cutting their teeth on Python 3.0
and might have encountered the same problem as I did:

When a Python (3.x) program is run on a terminal that only supports a
legacy character encoding - such as Latin 1 or Codepage 437 - all
characters printed to stdout will be automatically converted from the
interpreter's internal Unicode representation to this legacy character set.

Python 5 is even stricter. Only ASCII (chars 0..127) can be sent
to standard output by default.

Python 5??? Is this the time machine again?

Python 5? (I guess I haven't been following these things enough...)

Well, I would sure hope not.
