Unicode Problem

[Robert Simmons]

On further inspection I've found the following:

FreeBSD
>>> import sys
>>> print(sys.getdefaultencoding())
utf-8
>>> print(sys.stdout.encoding)
US-ASCII

MacOS X:
>>> import sys
>>> print(sys.getdefaultencoding())
utf-8
>>> print(sys.stdout.encoding)
UTF-8

How do I modify stdout encoding to set it to UTF-8 in FreeBSD?
