[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I am very happy with Emacs Unicode support and use it all the
time. However, the shell apparently is not as Unicode-friendly as it
should be.

Sorry I don’t know how to reproduce this bug in pure Emacs, it requires
installing an external program. This is a python script, that in some
cases dies because the stream it tries to output doesn’t support
Unicode. The program works fine in a standard Mac Terminal window, but
not within Emacs.

More details here:
https://github.com/gleitz/howdoi/issues/9#issuecomment-12014746

I attempted to set the buffer coding system to utf-8, but that didn’t help.

That link doesn't really provide a recipe either.  It seems to indicate
that the problem is fixed?

If not, please show the value of default-process-coding-system.  And try
doing C-x RET c to specify a coding system for the shell, before calling
M-x shell (see the `shell' docstring for details).

Closing as invalid, the unicode issue is likely a module issue than a
python.el one, also 8 months passed by with no reply.
