Confirmed.

With Python 2:

>>> import pydoc
>>> pydoc.pipepager(u'tütdelüt\n', 'cat')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "./Lib/pydoc.py", line 1357, in pipepager
    pipe.write(text)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)



With Python 3:

>>> import pydoc
>>> pydoc.pipepager('tütdelüt\n', 'cat')
tütdelüt
