[Jython-users] Jython unicode terminal in OS X

[Samuel K. <ult...@gm...>]

How to fix jython to print unicode correctly in apple's Terminal.app 
and iTerm, the two predominant terminal applications on the mac-- Maybe 
something like this should be the default on OS X?

import sys
from string import atoi
from java.lang import System
from java.io import PrintStream
if System.getProperty("os.name")=="Mac OS X":
     System.setOut(PrintStream(System.out, 1, "UTF-8"));
     class encoder:
         def write(self, text):
             System.out.write(text.encode("utf-8", "replace"))
     sys.stdout = encoder()

Note that using System.out in the python encoder is required, as 
sys.out messes up the output.
