#5867: Python default encoding would be _really_ useful in Unicode documentation
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------

While upgrading Django we collided upon a numberous amount of Unicode
errors only to find, after looking for a long time, that there was a
simple and easy way out; by setting the default encoding for Python. This
can simple be done by dropping the following snipplet somewhere in the
Python path:
{{{
# sitecustomize.py
# this file can be anywhere in your Python path,
# but it usually goes in ${pythondir}/lib/site-packages/
import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding('iso-8859-1')
}}}
We feel that it would be really useful to mention this in the Unicode page
of the Django documentation. The script itself we have found on
[http://www.diveintopython.org/xml_processing/unicode.html].
