If I come up with anything worth commenting on, I will do so (I assume that comments of the form "+1 me too!" are not needed ;-))

Nevertheless, here's a "Me, too". I've just been writing some PyPI interrogation scripts, and it's absolutely awful having to deal with random encoding errors in the output. Being able to just print anything is a HUGE benefit. This is how sys.stdout should behave - presumably the Unix guys are now all rolling their eyes and saying "but it does - just use a proper OS" :-)

Enlightened-ly y'rs, Paul
