UTF-8 uses the full 8 bits of a byte, while ASCII only uses 7, so writing 
Unicode encoded as UTF-8 to an ASCII stream is not valid.

I think recent Python versions are more strict about what is written to 
stdout/stderr than older versions, it might not be related to Twisted 
itself. You can specify a different encoding for stdin/out/err by setting 
the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable.
