I submitted a bug(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5470&atid=105470)

And I'm trying using StreamWriter, which I may actually want anyway so I
can set the error handling.  But I've ran into a weird thing.  Some codecs
don't like writing strings, only unicode.  This is problematic because it
means I can't just use the StreamWriter as a drop in replacement for
stdout, etc:

Python 2.3.4 (#2, May 29 2004, 03:31:27) 
[GCC 3.3.3 (Debian 20040417)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import codecs
>>> sys.stdout=codecs.getwriter('UTF-8')(sys.__stdout__)
>>> print 'hello'
hello
>>> sys.stdout=codecs.getwriter('EUC-JP')(sys.__stdout__)
>>> print 'hello'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: only unicode objects are encodable.
