[Bug 355160] [NEW] unicode input is broken

[Facundo Batista]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ipython

If an unicode string is written, it doesn't accept it, crashing because
it expects only ASCII characters:

facundo at exepus:~$ locale charmap
UTF-8
facundo at exepus:~$ echo $LANG
es_ES.UTF-8
facundo at exepus:~$ ipython
