You could add special markup to specify utf8 encoding: # -*- encoding: utf8 -*- If no markup is present, use locale encoding. If markup is present, use utf8 encoding. Bail out if markup specifies something else than utf8. Then update all pth-producing tools to write utf8-encoded pth files (at least on the Python versions that support the encoding markup). In 15 years, you can switch to utf8 by default.
