python3 - the hardest hello world ever ?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

do I miss something (I do hope so) or is switching to Python3
really hard for Latin1-users?

My simplest hello world script - which uses a few German
umlaut characters - doesn't look very intuitive.
I have to set an internal property (with leading underscore)
for each output file I'm using - right?

#!/usr/local/bin/python3.0
# _*_ coding: latin1 _*_

import sys

# the following call doesn't do the job
# sys.setfilesystemencoding('latin1')

# but this ugly one (to be done for each output file)
sys.stdout._encoding='latin1'

print("Hallo, Süßes Python")


Thanks for any enlightening on that subject,
Helmut.
