You need an explicit import of either "codecs" or any encoding (you'll
get them all, whether you want them or not :-().

The problem is that the import of the encoding is implicit. 
As a red-blooded American, I have luxuriated in my ignorance 
of all unicode issues, but I guess I'll have to figure out
what triggers that bit of magic.
