yes I tried that, but it doesn't affect %r which is inlined in unicodeobject.c, 
for me it seems easier to fix windows to use something like a standard encoding 
of utf8 ie cp65001, but that's quite hard to do globally. It seems sitecustomize 
is too late to set os.environ['PYTHONIOENCODING'], perhaps I can stuff that into 
one of the global environment vars and have it work for all python invocations.
