Thanks for the report!

Can you tell which operating system do you use, and copy the first few lines displayed when you start DreamPie?

The problem is that Python2.5 doesn't handle the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable.
I added a hack in revision 134 that makes the subprocess import site.py only after it manually sets the output encoding. I hope this won't cause other problems.

Thank you for prompt update. I applied the patch and It works properly now.
Might be better set encoding from stdout?

getattr(sys.stdout, 'encoding', 'UTF-8')

otherwise OS what doesn't use UTF-8 will has a problem.

[Noam Yorav-Raphael (noamraph)]

No, it shouldn't be a problem since the output goes into the main
DreamPie process, which expects UTF-8.
