with a minor fix (import sys) that runs without errors in Python 3.1 
(Vista), but the result is a bit disturbing...

--------------------------
晉
Content-type:text/plain;charset=utf-8
<BLANKLINE>
<BLANKLINE>
--------------------------

(is this a bug? or just undefined behavior?)



the following works correctly in python 3.1:

---------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
print = lambda s: sys.stdout.buffer.write(s.encode('utf-8'))
print("Content-type:text/plain;charset=utf-8\n\n")
print('晉\n')
----------------------------

(and that code will definitely fail with python2 because of the print 
assignment, an insurance if your server happens to be misconfigured to 
run python2)
