I found WriteConsoleW() API recently.
This API can write utf16 string to console directly, without change
OutputCodepage.

example:
http://bitbucket.org/methane/hg-fixutf8-jp/src/tip/win32helper.py#cl-42

I think this API is good for py3k.
When stdout is console and not redirected to [pipe|file],
sys.stdout.write(u"foo")
can avoid encoding and use WriteConsoleW(L"foo")
