While I am not sure about the status of this somewhat older issue, I 
just wanted to mention, that the behaviour remains the same in Python 
3.0rc1 (XPh SP3, Czech)

Python 3.0rc1 (r30rc1:66507, Sep 18 2008, 14:47:08) [MSC v.1500 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> input("ěšč: ")
─Ť┼í─Ź: řžý
'řžý'
>>> print("ěšč: ")

Is the patch above supposed to have been committed, or are there yet 
another difficulties?
(Not that it is a huge problem (for me), as applications dealing with 
non ascii text probably would use a gui, rather than relying on a 
console, but it's a kind of surprising.)
