pydoc3.5 borks on my Mac

[Skip Montanaro]

I finally got sort of smart, and started up a pydoc server. Looking at
the sqlite3 docs through my browser, I see right off the bat, I see

#-*- coding: ISO-8859-1 -*-
# pysqlite2/__init__.py: the pysqlite2 package.

so my challenge is how to tell Python my terminal's encoding? It's
clearly assuming ASCII. Mine is actually normally set to UTF-8, but I
can select from a number of different encodings in the Preferences.

Thx,

Skip
