Trunk and release26-maint were recently changed (r71657, r71658) to use
the following logic, which differs from the code snippet you posted.
 if (isinstance(msg, unicode) and
 getattr(stream, 'encoding', None)):
 stream.write(fs.decode(stream.encoding) % msg)
 else:
 stream.write(fs % msg)
If the stream is stderr and you are passing a unicode msg, the else
branch will not be taken; as long as the stream has an encoding
attribute, it should output correctly.
The change was made when another, similar issue was posted by another
user (issue #5768).
Can you confirm what happens with the current code as it is in
release26-maint? спасибо!
