Encoding of the sys.stdout is determined by the language environment.
Set LANG environment variable to something like en_US.UTF-8 to get
UTF-8 output from python.
The 'data points' about python version, FreeBSD version, compiler
version, colour of the enclosure for hard disk used, or even phase of
the Moon have lesser impact on the sys.stdout.encoding.
