Please don't cherry-pick this change in Fedora if it is not done in
Python 3.4. It changes the behaviour of Python and I would prefer to
have the same behaviour on the same Python version on all platforms.
I'm not against backporting the change in Python 3.4.1. It can be seen
as a bugfix. I don't think that anyone wants a Unicode error when
reading or printing non-ASCII data from stdin/to stdout. But I would
like the opinion of other developers before doing that.
