The issues are related to the emulation of sys.stdin and sys.stdout in
the interactive console (which is called Python Interpreter in
PyScripter).

In PyScripter,
    >>> print "...some cyrillic characters..."
produces output as if an UTF-8 string is displayed in latin1.
On the other hand,
    >>> print u"...some cyrillic characters..."
works correctly in PyScripter.  Both above examples works correctly in a
real console when sys.stdout.encoding is set to 'utf-8'.

raw_input() doesn't work at all with non-ASCII characters in PyScripter.
    >>> raw_input("...some cyrillic characters...")
displays the label in latin1 while
    >>> raw_input(u"...some cyrillic characters...")
produces UnicodeDecodeError.

Moreover, if I enter some cyrillic characters to the input box of
raw_input(), it returns a line of '?'. This might be related to the fact
that I use WinXP ENG (not RUS), but still I believe it's possible to
make it work even in this environment.

I'd like the emulated sys.stdin and sys.stdout to behave like the real
sys.stdin and sys.stdout do under a UTF-8 terminal when
sys.stdout.encoding is set to 'utf-8'.

Python 2.5, PyScripter 1.7.2.0.
