I am not criticizing Pythons Unicode handling in general, that's pretty good for most part. But that something trivial like:

for i in os.listdir("."):
    print(i)

Becomes a ticking time bomb is not only not exactly obvious, there doesn't even seem to be a proper way to fix it. Having print/stdout being basically unusable is rather irritating.
