[issue6832] Outputting unicode crushes when printing to file on Linux

[Georg Brandl]

Georg Brandl <georg at python.org> added the comment:

When output goes to a terminal, Python can determine its encoding. For a
file, it cannot, therefore it refuses to guess.

Also, many programs behave differently when used with redirection;
namely, all those that use `isatty()` to determine if stdout is a terminal.
