Needed tests.
With the patch:
$ LC_CTYPE=UTF-8 ./python
>>> import locale
>>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
(None, 'UTF-8')
>>> locale.getpreferredencoding()
'ANSI_X3.4-1968'
>>> locale.getlocale()
(None, None)
$ LC_CTYPE=en_US_UTF-8 ./python
>>> import locale
>>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
('en_US', 'UTF-8')
>>> locale.getpreferredencoding()
'UTF-8'
>>> locale.getlocale()
('en_US', 'UTF-8')
I think getpreferredencoding() and getlocale() should return the UTF-8 encoding.
