Sub-interpreter Encoding Bug

[Mongryong]

Can some Python Guru verify this:

When a sub-interpreter is created, a new module dictionary is created
which no longer includes a pointer to the 'encodings' module although
internally Python may say it exists (via a global variable).  This is
really a bug in Python.

I've tried looking at the CVS Bug Tracker and have not found any record
of this a bug.

There's a very good chance that this is the bug causing encoding
problems with embedded python apps and modules such as mod_python.
