Martin, Giovanni, thank you very much for your patience. I have set up a
clean Virtual Machine with a new interpreter and now I get the same
error in the standard interpreter, too. I have diffed the site.py files,
but they are unchanged to the new installation.
I have also solved my original problem (which I was trying yo reduce
with the code given): Reading a Cp1252 encoded file via
open("file").read(). It was working with my installation, packaged with
pyinstaller it failed. I am now using
codecs.open("file",encoding="Cp1252"), which I hope is the correct way
and if I compile on the VM it works on the host too.
Cheers
Sebastian

Hello,
Please see this short script:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
a = "ä"
print unicode(a)
It does work if not compile with pyinstaller. If compiled with:
pyinstaller.py scriptname.py
I get an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 4, in<module>
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position

Your code above does not run in a standard Python installation:
$ cat foooo.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
a = "ä"
print unicode(a)
$ python foooo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "foooo.py", line 3, in<module>
print unicode(a)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 0: ordinal

My crystal ball says that it works for you because you have modified the
default Python encoding, maybe following an ill-advised blog post like
this:
http://blog.ianbicking.org/illusive-setdefaultencoding.html
Maybe you've put something in your site.py/sitecustomize.py. You
shouldn't do that, specifically because your code then becomes
not-interoperable with different Python installation (and thus with
PyInstaller).
The correct way to achieve what you want is to explicitly name the
encoding of your 8-bit strings during the decoding process, so either:
print unicode(a, "utf-8")
or
print a.decode("utf-8")
