[I18n-sig] Unicode implementation of python

[Taquin Ho]

OK, I get the picture. site.py assigns the defaultencoding and then =
deletes=20
the method entry in sys so it cannot be called after initialization.

I received an AttributeError in site.py the first time around, but that =
must=20
have been due to a typo, then.

Works fine now. Thanks!
