Ask Python extensions to return UTF-8 data
By default, Python 2.x will encode output as ASCII to STDOUT/STDERR if
the output is piped. This commit explicitly requests UTF-8 output by
setting the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable.
Note this will not fix text encoding problems where the extension itself
does not support Unicode properly.
