Comments from Jeff Allen:

Hi Rose,

I can reproduce this, but only by setting my system locale to Chinese.
Any console line with a quote in it seems to be a problem. It is not, as
I assumed, to do with the JLineConsole, since it also occurs with the
plain console. sys.stdin.readline() and raw_input() both read ok: I
believe it's somewhere in the interpreter, but it's odd it would be
sensitive to encoding when dealing with the ascii subset.

I'm on Windows 7 and get the encoding name 'x-mswin-936', but it's
practically the same as you see. And this is on the latest 2.7b2
precursor so progress since beta 1 hasn't fixed it for you.

Yes please, file a bug at http://bugs.jython.org/ then you'll get
updates. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Jeff
