Unicode thing that causes a traceback in 2.6 and 2.7 but not in 2.5, and only when writing to a pipe, not to the terminal

[Dan Stromberg]

What is this about?  It's another n~ thing, but this time in 2.x.
All I'm doing is printing a str containing a character > 127.

It works fine in 2.5, to a terminal or to a pipe.  In 2.6 and 2.7, it
fails when writing to a pipe but works fine writing to my terminal -
an mrxvt.\

I really kind of want octets to just be octets, since I'm on a Linux
system - it probably should be up to the user and their related
software to decide how those octets are interpreted.  I'm assuming
that the bytes() workarounds I'm using in 3.x aren't going to work in
2.x - it looks like bytes() is just an alias for str() in 2.6 and 2.7.

BTW, the print(line) in the traceback looks like Python 3 syntax, and
it is I guess, but it's also Python 2 compatible.  In 3.x, it's a
function with a single argument, in 2.x it's a statement with a
parenthesized expression.

Thanks!
