Conda can put a file anywhere (within the conda environment), so a config file would be very doable. But I'm not sure if pip can put anything outside of site packages -- and I'm not sure if Python knows where site-packages is early enough in the startup process. So if anyone knows if there would be a way to pip-install UTF8-mode -- I think that would be a nice feature. BTW -- is it guaranteed that all other supported systems other than Windows use utf-8? or should UTF8-mode be available everywhere, even though in most cases it won't make a difference. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD (Chris) Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
