Summary: Strange unicode behaviour
Initial Comment:
I know that python is very funny WRT unicode processing, but this defies all my
knowledge.
I use the es_ES.UTF-8 encoding on linux. The script:
python -c "print unicode('á %s' % 'éí','utf8') " works, i.e., prints á éí in
the next line.
However, if I redirect it to less or to a file, like
python -c "print unicode('á %s' % 'éí','utf8') " >test
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe1' in position 0:
ordinal not in range(128)
Why is the behaviour different when stdout is redirected? How can I get it to
do "the right thing" in both cases?

Forgot to say that it happens consistently with 2.4.3, 2.5-svn and svn
trunk
Also, some people asks for repr of strings (I guess to reproduce if they
can't read the caracters). Those are printed in utf-8:
$python -c "print repr('á %s')"
'\xc3\xa1 %s'
$ python -c "print repr('éi')"
'\xc3\xa9i'
