* My system is a linux-box.

I can not speak for anybody else but in my search I don't believe to
have read about someone who had the problem on a Windows-system. They
all used linux (different kinds of flavors) or OS-X... This is the first
time I've encountered a situation where Windows is better in encoding
issues :P +1 for Microsoft...
I think that Apache (*nix versions) doesn't tell Python, she's accepting
UTF-8. Or Python doesn't listen right... Maybe I should place a bug
report in both projects?

What seems to be the problem:
My Script was ok. I know this because in the terminal I got my expected
output. Python3 uses UTF-8 coding as a standard. The problem is, when
python 'prints' to the apache interface, it translates the string to
ascii. (Why, I never found an answer).
Is the apache server running on a linux or a windows platform?
The problem may not be python, it may be the underlying OS. I wonder if
apache is spawning a process for python though, and if so whether it is
in some way constraining the character set available to stdout of the
spawned process.
From your other message, the error appears to be a python error on
reading the input file. For some reason python seems to be trying to
interpret the file it is reading as ascii.
I wonder if specifying the binary data parameter and / or utf-8 encoding
when opening the file might help.
eg:
f = open( "/var/www/cgi-data/index.html", "rb" )
f = open( "/var/www/cgi-data/index.html", "rb", encoding="utf-8" )
f = open( "/var/www/cgi-data/index.html", "r", encoding="utf-8" )
I've managed to drive down a bit further in the problem:
print() goes to sys.stdout
This is part of what the docs say about sys.stdout:
"""
The character encoding is platform-dependent. Under Windows, if the
stream is interactive (that is, if its isatty() method returns True), the
console codepage is used, otherwise the ANSI code page. Under other
platforms, the locale encoding is used (see locale.getpreferredencoding
()).
Under all platforms though, you can override this value by setting the
PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable before starting Python.
"""
At this point, details of the OS become very significant. If your server
is running on a windows platform you may need to figure out how to make
apache set the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable to "utf-8" (or
whatever else is appropriate) before calling the python script.
I believe that the following line in your httpd.conf may have the
required effect.
SetEnv PYTHONIOENCODING utf-8
Of course, if the file is not encoded as utf-8, but rather something
else, then use that as the encoding in the above suggestions. If the
server is not running windows, then I'm not sure where the problem might
be.
