Long way around UnicodeDecodeError, or 'ascii' codec can't decode byte

[Oleg Parashchenko]

Hello,

I'm working on an unicode-aware application. I like to use "print" to
debug programs, but in this case it was nightmare. The most popular
result of "print" was:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xXX in position
0: ordinal not in range(128)

I spent two hours fixing it, and I hope it's done. The solution is one
of the ugliest hack I ever written, but it solves the pain. The full
story and the code is in my blog:
