That's not true.

Python 2.5 (r25:51908, May 9 2007, 00:53:06)
>>> u = u'äöü'
>>> sys.stdout.write(u)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-2:
ordinal not in range(128)

Only "print" will set the Py_PRINT_RAW flag to trigger the conversion from
Unicode to 8-bit strings using .encoding in PyFile_WriteObject().
If not set, the default encoding is used.
I'm not exactly sure why, since using .encoding would be useful
in all cases.
