Setting default output encoding

[Torsten Bronger]

Hallöchen!

I start a python script with subprocess from another Python script
with

    python = subprocess.Popen(["python", "myscript.py"],
                              stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

However, this child script has sys.stdout.encoding set to None,
which means that Unicode strings cannot be printed without trouble.
I tried

    environment = os.environ
    environment["LC_CTYPE"] = environment["LANG"] = "de_DE.UTF-8"
    python = subprocess.Popen(["python", "myscript.py"],
                              env = environment,
                              stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

for setting it to UTF-8, however, it didn't work.  Any idea on how
to achieve this?

Tschö,
Torsten.
