That means that Python is better at guessing the correct encoding than you
are. Here's how you can make it share its secrets:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.encoding
'UTF-8' # something else on your machine (cp850, maybe)
Then you can use that encoding to print:
>>> your_encoding = sys.stdout.encoding
>>> print u"áéíóú".encode(your_encoding)
áéíóú
On the other hand: why not always print the unicode string directly?
