UnicodeEncodeError when not running script from IDE

[Fabio Zadrozny]

Just to note, PyDev does something behind the scenes (it sets the encoding
for the console).

You may specify which encoding you want at your launch configuration (in
the 'common' tab you can set the encoding you want for the shell).

Cheers,

Fabio
