[Python] Python: Click Package - Having trouble with non ASCII chars & cmd.exe

I am writing a command-line tool using the Click Python Package:

Which is quite useful, but I can't get one issue fixed with that, which is when I enter non-ASCII chars as a parameter for my Command Line Tool, it will always give me that encoding error:

And yeah, I know about encode() and decode() in Python, but as you can see in my code, I am not touching this string anywhere.

Is it the fault of my console? Am I missing any settings here? I am using Windows 7 cmd.exe and know that Windows likes his own encoding for filenames etc. Do I have to use another console? Tried python one with same result.

The click Documentation states all strings are treated as Unicode...

I would appreciate your help really much. Installing click is as easy as pip install click

Kind regards,

My Code:

import click
from click_shell import shell
import os



@shell(prompt='Tool > ', intro='some test...', hist_file=os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)))
def stRec():
pass



@stRec.command()
@click.argument('name', required=True, type=click.STRING)
def set(name):
print "nothing"



if __name__ == '__main__':
stRec()
