Hi Bináris,

what operating system version are you using? Also, what happens when you open 
a python interpreter and execute this:

daniel at artemis:~$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Oct  5 2007, 13:36:32)
[GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.encoding


Cheers,

Daniel
