Since cmd.cmdloop() says:

# ...
self.stdout.write(str(self.intro)+"\n")
# ....

one cannot use unicode characters in cmd.cmd.intro, for example the copyright (©) character (u'\xa9').

TIA

Since 2.7 is nearing the second beta, I’m afraid no new features can be added.

Note that classes using cmd in 3.x get Unicode arguments.

Correction: beta is behind us, it’s nearly rc time.

Python 2.7 is already released. This is a non-issue on py3.x. Should this issue be closed or we work on it.

If someone wants to try arguing that this is a bug fix (and can provide a patch that does not change existing behavior), then we could reopen it, but as a feature request it is closed for 2.7.
