As said, this depends on the system setup for Python. You didn't
mention which distro you're using, but you should be able to locate
either an /etc/python/site.py or an equivalent somewhere under the
/usr/lib/python2.3/ tree.

It should contain a call to sys.setdefaultencoding(). Debian does it
this way:

    encoding = "ascii" # Default value set by _PyUnicode_Init()

    if 1:  ## <------- THIS is 0 by default
        # Enable to support locale aware default string encodings.
        import locale
        loc = locale.getdefaultlocale()
        if loc[1]:
            encoding = loc[1]

    if 0:
        # Enable to switch off string to Unicode coercion and implicit
        # Unicode to string conversion.
        encoding = "undefined"

    if encoding != "ascii":
        # On Non-Unicode builds this will raise an AttributeError...
        sys.setdefaultencoding(encoding) # Needs Python Unicode build !

ciao, lele.
