Yes, I think so. I no longer remember exactly, but this is what I have now:
$ ll /usr/lib/python2.7/sitecustomize.py
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Sep 19 07:47
/usr/lib/python2.7/sitecustomize.py -> /etc/python2.7/sitecustomize.py
$ cat /etc/python2.7/sitecustomize.py
# Set default encoding for locale (see site.py)
import sys
import locale
loc = locale.getdefaultlocale()
if loc[1]:
sys.setdefaultencoding(loc[1])
# install the apport exception handler if available
try:
import apport_python_hook
except ImportError:
pass
else:
apport_python_hook.install()
I think I added the first part based on stuff in the setencoding()
function in site.py

Right, so if you are going to setdefaultencoding(), you need to do it in
site.py or sitecustomize.py.
