Can someone explain the rationale of making the default encoding a sitewide setting?
I could live with the the default being set on a per process basis, but it baffles me why even that possibility is taken away as site.py removes sys.setdefaultencoding. Is there a way to allow the process to specify that unicode-->str should use 'utf8' rather than 'ascii' in all non-specific cases? -- Robin Becker -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
