I think the problem you are having is with the source code encoding, not sys.stdout.encoding. Probably your editor on linux expects a different file encoding than what you are using in Windows. Your windows editor is probably using cp1252; perhaps the linux editor expects utf-8. You need to get the editors to agree on the source code encoding. Then put the coding declaration at the top of the file as Michael suggested.
