Changing the default encoding in site.py from the Python default is asking for
trouble. This can break or change the behaviour of programs in subtle ways. I
think Ubuntu developers should make the case to the Python upstream that they
should change the default encoding to UTF-8, but should not do so for Ubuntu
until Python upstream does so.
