Set encoding in Python 3 CGI scripts

Question

When writing a Python 3.1 CGI script, I run into horrible UnicodeDecodeErrors. However, when running the script on the command line, everything works.

Answer 1

Short answer: as detailed in mod_cgi + utf8 + Python3 produces no output, just add this in .htaccess:

SetEnv PYTHONIOENCODING utf8

along with:

Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .py
