print u'\u2013' error on console/terminal

sys.stdout.encoding
'cp850'Traceback (most recent call last):

is there a switch to suppress those encoding errors for standard
print's on the console - e.g. for getting automatic behavior like
'replace' :


or a new filter file class necessary?

No, there is no such switch.

or a new filter file class necessary?

You can wrap sys.stdout with a codecs.StreamWriter, passing "replace"
as the error handler.
