Just add these lines to quickstart.py and instapy.py:

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

@akcasoy please give some more information about where what is not working...

Is it the commenting?
Have you tried u'Test das ist eine übung'

Try to give some hashtag with ü in "Like by Tags". Then you click on run button and see the error.. But the problem may also be sth. related with the "InstaPy GUI".. I cannot run the app without the GUI right now.

This is the error when i run your app without GUI:

File "quickstart.py", line 11 (this is the line with session.like_by_tags(['sehenswürdigkeit'], amount=500, media='Photo'))
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file quickstart.py on line 11, but no encoding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details
