In emacs (use `run-python` command to call `python3`):

```
>>> sys.version
sys.version
'3.2.3 (v3.2.3:3d0686d90f55, Apr 10 2012, 11:25:50) \n[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)]'
>>> sys.getdefaultencoding()
sys.getdefaultencoding()
'utf-8'
>>> data
data
'sp\xe4m'
>>> print(data)
print(data)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe4' in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)

```

In terminal:

```
~$python3
Python 3.2.3 (v3.2.3:3d0686d90f55, Apr 10 2012, 11:25:50)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin

>>> data='sp\xe4m'
>>> sys.getdefaultencoding()
'utf-8'
>>> data
'späm'
>>> print(data)
späm

```

Does anyone have ideas about the reason that unicode string of Python works in terminal but not in emacs
