Rather than reply point by point I will summarise my input.

I think that utf-8 mode is a great idea.

I think that an .INI file in the style that py.exe uses is better then env var.

Env var on WIndows could be used but there can be surprises with the way
windows merges user and system env vars. Maybe that only with PATH that
is very odd.

I'm hoping that the solution implemented allows new users to get a great
experience and also that advanced users can get control of the mode.

Personally I'd prefer to have files that I edit to configure python then 
registry
keys. I can put files into git, not exmple. I have to work hard to manage 
registry
keys via git.
