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.
