Nick Coghlan added the comment:

The PEP already explains how other runtimes achieve UTF-8 and UTF-18-LE 
everywhere: by ignoring the C/C++ locale entirely. While this breaks 
integration with other C/C++ components, the developers of those languages and 
runtimes simply don't care, as they never supported integrating with those 
components in the first place.

CPython doesn't have that luxury, since it is used extensively in locale aware 
desktop applications.
