[Python-ideas] Unicode stdin/stdout (was: Re: python 3.3 repr)

Of course, the real solution to this issue is to replace sys.stdout on windows with an object that can handle Unicode directly with the WriteConsoleW function - the problem there is that it will break code that expects to be able to use sys.stdout.buffer for binary I/O. I also wasn't able to get the analogous stdin replacement class to work with input() in my attempts.
