It sure does have Unicode support.

Why do you say that? Because the comment says it, or because you
actually did get the attribute error when changing site.py?

I'm pretty sure that you got this exception because you tried to
invoke sys.setdefaultencoding outside of site.py

It is already activated. Please explain *exactly* what you did if you
want more help.
