And whoever is introducing the user to Python can show them how to set the necessary environment variable - or do it for them. Please be clear, I'm not saying I don't understand the difficulties. But I do question why PYTHONUTF8 is so much different than all the other environment variables that Python responds to that it needs special additional options. Remember - I've already said that I'm not convinced that setting UTF8 mode globally is the right approach. So what you're saying in effect is that you want to convince me that we should add a new mechanism to globally set an option that I don't believe should be set globally. Let's just assume until you can convince me that setting UTF-8 mode globally is a good idea, there's no point trying to convince me that we need a new mechanism to do so because environment variables aren't good enough.
