To get the default encoding for the current locale, you
should use locale.getpreferredencoding(). You should not use
getdefaultlocale becaus it is (IMO) inherently broken, and
should not have been part of the standard library in the
first place.

getdefaultlocale() is often used to get default encoding for
current system locale.
And, if function is provided in standard library, why
shouldn't one use it?

Why do you want to use getdefaultlocale()?
