Why would it be different for embeded python?

How can the application guess the encoding better than Python? If the user 
doesn't configure correctly its environment, I don't see how the application 
can get the real (correct) environment config?!

If Python is unable to start because of the filesystem encoding, it is a bug 
(see #8611). If Python starts but displays incorrectly filenames, it is the 
user fault: the user have to setup its environment.
