On OSX 10.5 Terminal sets the LANG environment variable, which  
pythonrun.c picks up to set the encoding of sys.stdout when that's  
connected to a tty.  Printing arbitary unicode strings therefore works  
fine on my system (at least using python 2.5, I haven't used 3.0 yet).

I haven't checked if other OS releases behave simularly.
