There is a Python script that tries to print a message in Russian language. It's okay when script runs in console, but it causes DecodeUnicodeError if it invokes as CGI.

How are you running the CGI script? Are you sure that the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable isn't set by the HTTP server?

[merwok]

The contents are valid UTF-8; the problem does not seem related to PYTHONIOENCODING (run “python3.2 Test.py | cat” so that stdout is not a tty; this used to be buggy in 2.x, hence PYTHONIOENCODING, but in 3.x the encoding of stdout is UTF-8 even in a pipeline).

Nick, we’ll need more info about your setup, as well as the full traceback. Thanks!

Closing due to lack of feedback.
