By default, the python 2.7 on Ubuntu/Debian is using ascii as default
encoding. There is an option in /usr/lib/python2.7/site.py, user can
enable to support locale aware default string encodings, which is a
system wide setting.

The better approach is to switch the default encoding to user's setting.
Like


import locale
encoding = 'ascii'
loc = locale.getdefaultlocale()
if loc[1]:
    encoding = loc[1]

sys.setdefaultencoding(encoding)
