For OSX, you can set the encoding by placing the following as the first or 
second line of a module:
#-*- coding: utf-8 -*-

That doesn't work on Windows, as Python apparently sets the encoding when 
starting up and won't change it later.  

It appears that the proper way is to is to create a module called 
sitecustomize.py in PYTHONPATH that contains:
import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

Or to edit site.py to set the default encoding.  Either of these methods has 
the drawback that it affects all Python processes.

As a practical matter, this seems to work if placed so it executes at the 
beginning of a script:
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8")

Does this sound correct?

WRT pyinstaller, what is the best way to handle this?
