I'm not very experienced with internationalization, but if you change::

gettext.install('test')

to::

gettext.install('test', unicode=True)

what happens?

Actually, this is the solution.

But there's one more problem: the solution only works when the
Terminal encoding is not US-ASCII. Unfortunately (almost) all
terminals I tried are set to US-ASCII (rxvt under Cygwin, Console[1]
running bash, Poderosa[2] running bash). Only the Windows Console is
CP852 and this works.

I got the tip to set a different encoding by
sys.stdout = codecs.EncodedFile(sys.stdout, 'utf-8')

but unfortunately this does not change the encoding of any Terminal.
So my question is: how can I set a different encoding to sys.stdout
(or why can I set it without any error but nothing changes?)
