[issue1602] windows console doesn't print utf8 (Py30a2)

[Glenn Linderman]

Glenn Linderman <v+python at g.nevcal.com> added the comment:

With Python 3.1.1, the following batch file seems to be necessary to use
UTF-8 successfully from an XP console:

set PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8
cmd /u /k chcp 65001
set PYTHONIOENCODING=
exit

the cmd line seems to be necessary because of Windows having
compatibility issues, but it seems that Python should notice the cp65001
and not need the PYTHONIOENCODING stuff.
