Hehe, strange because it's in dabo's __init__.py and surely:
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:57:41)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import dabo
>>> dabo.getEncoding()
'UTF8'
>>>
Whatever, I'm glad you sorted this out. Will keep your workaround in mind ;)
