But actually I was wondering if I could go around this (e.g. not explicitly mention u"""<docstring>""") without modifying the source code on my installation as I did.

You shouldn't. To understand what encoding a str docstring has, one has to parse the source file and find the # encoding: blah line to .decode() the str to unicode.

You can try it yourself:

#encoding: utf8
print len("ü") # 2
print len(u"ü") # 1

#encoding: iso8859-9
print len("ü") # 1
print len(u"ü") # 1

you must make sure to save the files in noted encodings or use iconv to convert them to get the same result.

Best,
Burak
