Unicode conversion in 'print'

[Ricardo Bugalho]

Hi, 
 thanks for the information. But what I was really looking for was
informaion on when and why Python started doing it (previously, it always
used sys.getdefaultencoding())) and why it was done only for 'print' when
stdout is a terminal instead of always.
