You're forgetting about print; in Python 2.x, when stdout is connected to a terminal, the locale settings (typically the LANG, LCALL and LCCTYPE environment variables) are taken into account when 'print' writes to sys.stdout.

Isn't it then enough to make sure your locale setting are correct? (Never had any problems myself, if works great in Ubuntu).
