[PyPy-issue] [issue712] Cannot change encoding used by print statement?

[Gerlof Bouma]

New submission from Gerlof Bouma <gerlof.bouma at gmail.com>:

Using the print *statement* to write to a file with an encoding other than ascii
doesn't seem to work, raising a EncodingError even if writing is handled through
the codecs module and is supposed to be able to handle, say, utf8. The issue
does not show up when using __future__.print_function or f.write(...). 

Attached is a file demonstrating the contrast between ".write(bla)" and "print
bla". In the example I used sys.stdout but the problem is the same with printing
to a (proper) file. 

The problem shows up in pypy 1.4 and 1.5. CPython doesn't have the issue.
