   But did you edit site.py and replace "ascii" with your locale? Or,
better, create the following sitecustomize.py:

# Set the string encoding used by the Unicode implementation.  The
# default is 'ascii'

encoding = "koi8-r" # <= change this!!!

# Enable to support locale aware default string encodings.
import locale
loc = locale.getdefaultlocale()
if loc[1]:
   encoding = loc[1]

if encoding != "ascii":
   import sys
   sys.setdefaultencoding(encoding)

Oleg.
