The encoding can be set using the C API for file objects - from Python  
code, use ctypes:

py> from ctypes import *
py> PyFile_SetEncoding = pythonapi.PyFile_SetEncoding
py> PyFile_SetEncoding.argtypes = (py_object, c_char_p)
py> if not PyFile_SetEncoding(sys.stdout, "hex"):
...     raise ValueError
...
py> print "Hello"
Hello
py> print u"Hello"
