Accent error in Python 2.7

Question

During coding (below) there is an error regarding the accentuation of some words:

Note: I am using Notepad++ and running python 2.7 on windows cmd

Code:

# encoding: utf-8
import os, sys

print "EXPEDIÇÃO DE DESPACHO"

Exit:

λ python teste1.py
EXPEDIÇÃO DE DESPACHO

Imagery

Note: I checked this question in another post but it did not help: Encoding utf-8 allows accents?

Answer 1

Apparently in cmd with Python2.7 just use the u"...", thus:

print u"á é í"

Note that the document should also be saved in utf-8 without BOM

Using Notepad++:

Using Sublime Text:

I tested in the cmd.exe native, but not working, I will edit the answer as soon as I get a technical solution and a detail on what changes from python2.7 and 3.x, because 3.x works correctly without using the command chcp.

cmd did not work, but Cmder worked using the command chcp 65001 before you run python, then you can do this directly via script, example:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import os, sys

os.system('@chcp 65001')

print "EXPEDIÇÃO DE DESPACHO"
print "expedição de despacho"

Upshot:
