Unicode

Ooh, fun with printing Unicode in Python! Thank you to Christoph Görn for pointing out that my ab.py tool chokes when printing Unicode characters from Address Book records.

The reason and solution are ably explained here: Python's output stream is defaulting to ASCII encoding.

A fix:

import codecs, sys
sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter('utf-8')(sys.stdout)
