I've found something very, very strange: the interpreter
dies on me when printing a UTF-8 encoded unicode object,
when the terminal has a unicode codepage.
Before anyone asks, I'm running on Windows NT 4.
First, I read this message on Python-List from
Ben Hutchings:
>=20
> UTF-8 is code page 65001.
>=20

So, promptly, I opened a console window, changed the codepage using
the above command and started Python.
When executing the following:
>>> print u"h=F2l=E1".encode("utf-8")
[in case it doesn't print out correctly, using html entities,
it's "hòlá".encode("utf-8")]
the interpreter simply exits without any message, exception,
peep, anything; it simply quits without printing anything.
Any suggestions?
