  I have now found the difference. When I execute the script,
sys.getdefaultencoding() returns 'cp1252'. After creating a .exe file, the
output is 'ascii'. Creating the sitecustomize.py and even calling
sys.setdefaultencoding() directly in site.py did not have any impact
whatsoever.

  Is there another simple method to set the default encoding? And what
might be the cause for the exefied script to have a different encoding?

TIA,
