oops, sorry i missed this -- maybe pyvenv.cfg will do the job.

Though I'm a bit confused about how it might work outside of venv itself,
which usually creates the pyvenv.cfg file.

Would venv and other tools need to add / change the utf-8 mode key in
the pyvenv.cfg file?

(I note that that might be pretty straightforward with the use of the
EnvBuilder class -- though not as easy as simply installing a file)

One idea: could it simply look for a file called "UTF8-MODE"  (it could be
empty) next to python.exe? That would presumably be faster than having to
actually open and read a file, and would be easy to install.
