Hmm, not that this helps me any :)

 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.stdout.encoding
'cp1252'
 >>> import codecs
 >>> codecs.lookup('cp1252')
(<bound method Codec.encode of <encodings.cp1252.Codec instance at 
0x009D6670>>, <bound method Codec.decode of <encodings.cp1252.Codec 
instance at 0x009D6698>>, <class encodings.cp1252.StreamReader at 
0x009CF360>, <class encodings.cp1252.StreamWriter at 0x009CF330>)
