Summary: UTF-8 mode files won't save with non-ASCII characters

Initial Comment:
Changing "Defaulr Source Encoding" to UTF-8 prevents 
error messages for files with "european characters" 
(ÄÖÜ). However the file will not save any longer...

Remove those characters and saving is o.k. again.

I think bug #805728
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=805728&group_id=5470)
 should cover this case.

I found it happens only when editing existing files, not
when saving new ones.

I noticed the same problem with these characters (in my case
they were "à" and "è"").
Here is what I get in the shell, when trying to save from Idle:


>>> Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\PROGRA~1\Python23\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line
1345, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)
  File "C:\PROGRA~1\Python23\lib\idlelib\IOBinding.py", line
335, in save
    if self.writefile(self.filename):
  File "C:\PROGRA~1\Python23\lib\idlelib\IOBinding.py", line
370, in writefile
    chars = chars.replace("\n", self.eol_convention)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in
position 365: ordinal not in range(128)
