You can hack this into site.py, or mess with sitecustomize.py, but I don't recommend it. > I often have to deal with 8-bit encodings and rarely with unicode. You often have to deal with non-ASCII text, that is. Unicode is Python's to deal with non-ASCII text in a portable way. There's no need for you to think in Unicode terms; just separate encoded text from non-encoded text, decode on the way in and encode on the way out, and all your pro- blems will disappear. > Can it be done per-program?
