unicode will not pipe.

when used in a pipe sequence.

What is the best way to make this work when piping? Can I just tell it to use whatever encoding the shell/filesystem/whatever is using?

The suggestions I have seen thus far is to modify your site.py directly, or hardcoding the defaultencoding using this hack:
# -_\- coding: utf-8 -_-

import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')
print "åäö"
