How can I print German umlauts in lists?

Question

It seems to me as if python print can't print German umlauts in lists, dictionary and tuples. How can I change this?

# -*- coding: cp1252 -*-
print 'ÄÖÜ' #'ÄÖÜ'

x = 'ÄÖÜ'
print x #'ÄÖÜ'

x = ['ÄÖÜ',]
print x #['\xc4\xd6\xdc']
print x[0] #'ÄÖÜ'

x = [u'ÄÖÜ',]
print x #['\xc4\xd6\xdc']
print x[0] #'ÄÖÜ'

x = {'Ä': 'Ü'}
print x #{'\xc4': '\xdc'}
print x['Ä'] #'Ü'

Change your coding to this:

# -*- coding: cp852 -*-

This won't help. The `coding` hint tells the Python interpreter what encoding your source code file (*.py) is saved as, it will not do anything about the output. And the fact that it displays `'ÄÖÜ'` when printing a string means that the source code encoding already is correct. – Tomalak Mar 20 '19 at 12:36
