That is impossible to implement. When outputting to a terminal window, the terminal's encoding is queried and used. When the Python script is run on its own, there may not even exist a terminal encoding.

In any case, this issue is resolved in Python 3 (not by setting the encoding to the terminal's encoding, but to the system code page). For 2.7, changing this would be a new feature, so I'm closing this as resolved - please upgrade to Python 3.
