I very much recommend against this! Your programs will be non-portable,
because other people will not have your sitecustomize.py.
I know, I was there. And I very much regretted it.
The Right Way to process strings is:
-- choose one string representations: either strings or unicode, but not
both;
-- on every input (from files, from sockets, from GUI) convert input values
to your preferred representation; in case of strings - to your preferred
encoding;
-- on every output convert values back.
