   High ASCII output with Python 3 - how?

   Hi all,   
      
   I am looking into developing a DOOR using Python 3.x for Mystic.   
      
   However, I cannot use write() or writeln() to output a string containing   
   special characters (such as „ [ae] ” [oe] á [sz]), they will display   
   incorrectly. The BBS is running in CP437 and so are clients.   
      
   If I encode the characters manually and call write() or writeln() using a   
   bytestring, the user gets disconnected immediately. This may be a bug.   
      
   What is the correct way to get a Python 3.x script to output special   
   characters in Mystic?   
      
   Best Regards,   
   Sebastian
