You are right that Spyder is messing with the encoding in its

If I am so bold as to add |encoding = "ascii"| then
|sys.getdefaultencoding()| does indeed give 'ascii' when run from the
console, but I don't know what the consequences will be of messing with
the encoding for all of Spyder. I'd like to change the encoding only for
the Python interpreter in the console, not the Python environment in
which Spyder is running. Unfortunately, adding
|os.environ['SPYDER_ENCODING'] = 'ascii'| doesn't work: the environment
variable stays set but |sys.getdefaultencoding()| still gives |"UTF-8"|.
Some Googling seems to indicate this SO question has the answer:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7165108/in-osx-lion-lang-is-not-set-to-utf8-how-fix/8161863#8161863
Try adding or editing the ~/.profile file for it to correctly export
your locale settings upon initiating a new session.
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
These two lines added to the file should suffice to set the locale
[replace en_US for your desired locale, and check beforehand that it is
indeed installed on your system (locale -a)].
After that, you can start a new session and check using locale:
If that does not work, I would say this is question for some OS X
experts, of which I am not.
