What about warnings.filtererrors() in future versions of Python
when this warning will be turned into error?  I guess it's OK as
temporal hack but it's not a solution of the problem.
May be execfile and compile functions should have optional
encoding parameter?  I'm not sure about execfile, but compile
must have it.
