UnicodeEncodeError in linux for printing menu box

[renanGit]

I dont know if this is something worth fixing, but I just wanted it to be known.

I pasted the example4.py in my environment in linux (SLES11) and every time I run it, this UnicodeEncodeError comes up.

Just FYI I'm covering up the path with '*' below.

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 3-77: ordinal not in range(128)

I found out that the sys.stdout for my linux python is ANSI_X3.4-1968 and windows is utf-8. I tried many different ways, but after changing my encoding to utf-8 it at least works.

import sys, codecs
sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter("utf-8")(sys.stdout.detach())

Issue was resolved by changing the Konsole character encoding from Western European ISO 8859-1 -> UTF-8 None of the export LANG suggestions worked, just FYI.
