Setting your default system encoding to utf-8 will work -- but it's
incredibly inconvenient, as you've noticed, especially when deploying
your app to new environments.
The output encoding setting is how the final, rendered string Myghty
returns will be encoded to. The UnicodeDecodeError you're seeing is
due to the incoming data passed to Myghty, it occurs when Myghty
converts everything to unicode internally. It defaults to the
system's default encoding (ascii) when converting inputted strings to
unicode.
The correct way to solve this problem is to pass Myghty unicode
objects. The other option is to disable unicode support in Myghty,
via the global 'disable_unicode' option, or on a template by template
basis by passing disable_unicode=True to Pylons' render function.
