No answers yet, but a clue, and anyone on OSX should now be able to reproduce this (with 2.5, 2.6 or 3.0) as follows:

./python ./Lib/test/testsys.py | cat That is, the problem happens when stdout is redirected to a pipe (or a file).

Redirecting stdout also fails for both the trunk and the py3k branch for me on Ubuntu. If I redirected stderr as well then the tests worked again.

Given that a pipe/file and the console very likely do have different encodings, maybe the test is just wrong?

Cheers, Nick.
