I often experiment in long session with PyShell (for hours actually) and I have made PyShell crash several times by accidently pressing one of the umlaut-keys.
The behaviour does not occur with the python interpreter (Python.exe). Try the following:
PyShell 0.9.4 - The Flakiest Python Shell

... nothing happens. PyShell hangs. Really annoying! Any workarounds?
This is the output from the Python interpreter (it does NOT crash):

And that's the python intepreter output when PyShell is launched from the command line and I enter "ä":

I just started with Python so I have no idea what the purpose of the line is. Looks to me like a forced conversion from Unicode to ASCII, which of course fails if you enter a umlaut.
Seems it's best to leave such error handling to Python

Actually, it is trying to encode it using python's default encoding, which if you havn't customized your site config will be 'ascii'.

Some things in PyShell besides this one probably expect strings, but we can certainly add some exception handling and also pick a better encoding to convert to string with.
