bin/list_members uses the encoding returned by Python's
sys.getdefaultencoding() which is 'ascii' so all non-ascii characters
get converted to '?'

You have a couple of choices:

1) You can edit bin/list_members and replace

ENC = sys.getdefaultencoding()

by

ENC = 'utf-8'

2) Edit /usr/lib/pythonv.v/site.py where v.v is your Python version.
Find the definition of setencoding() and change the4th line from

    encoding = "ascii" # Default value set by _PyUnicode_Init()

to
    encoding = "utf-8"
