Comment:
As I mentioned in that thread, running Python with a default encoding
other than ascii is likely to hide errors. In the case posted in that
thread the wrong encoding (apparently latin1) is used to translate a utf-8
bytestring to unicode, resulting in corrupt data. Why would be desirable
to change the test suite to run cleanly on such a configuration?
