How print non-latin letters?

Question

I have a simple script parse_dict_pl.py:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

f = open('polish.txt','r')
print "Polish letters: ęóąśłżźćń"
for l in f:
        print l

File polish.txt contains polish letters: ęóąśłżźćń
I run script from windows command line as follows:

python parse_dict_pl.py

and the result is:

Polish letters: ęóąśłżźćń
ęóąśłżźćń

How can I properly print polish letters hardcoded in the script and loaded from file?

TRY:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from unidecode import unidecode

text = u'ęóąśłżźćń'
result = ''

for i in text:
   try:
     result += i.encode('1252').decode('1252')
   except (UnicodeEncodeError, UnicodeDecodeError):
    result += unidecode(i)

print result

It's producing the output:

You have to install unidecode library. Get it from library reference
I've taken the polish letters within a variable,you can try it according to your need. Hope it'll help you
