[docs] printing unicode strings

[Chuck Simmons]

Context:  I'm getting

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2019' in
position 7: ordinal not in range(128)

from the code

print '%s%s%s' % (prefix, value, suffix),

[Here, 'value' contains unicode characters, while prefix and suffix contain
7-bit characters.]


So I went to
http://docs.python.org/2/howto/unicode.html#reading-and-writing-unicode-data
to determine what I should do to fix my bug.  I saw the section "Reading
and Writing Unicode
Data<http://docs.python.org/2/howto/unicode.html#reading-and-writing-unicode-data>",
which seemed relevant. That section doesn't seem to discuss printing to
stdout.


No doubt I got confused and didn't read carefully enough, but it might be
the case that if the Reading and Writing section had an example of printing
a unicode string to stdout that it would have helped me find a solution
faster.

g'luck, Chuck
