[pypy-issue] [issue1508] PyPy 2.0 does not respect default encoding

[kostia.lopuhin]

New submission from kostia.lopuhin <kostia.lopuhin at gmail.com>:

When default encoding is set to utf-8 via

import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

CPython respects it

/usr/bin/python
Python 2.7.2 (default, Oct 11 2012, 20:14:37)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-418.0.60)] on darwin
>>> import sys
>>> sys.getdefaultencoding()
'utf-8'
>>> 'fasd афыва %s' % u'афыва'
u'fasd \u0430\u0444\u044b\u0432\u0430 \u0430\u0444\u044b\u0432\u0430'

And PyPy (both OS X and Ubuntu) does not:
