I have the following code in my sitecustomize.py

import sys,  locale
loc = locale.getdefaultlocale()
if loc[1]:
    encoding = loc[1]
if encoding != "ascii":
    sys.setdefaultencoding(encoding)

And on my machine the following works:

t = "32 " + unichr(0x20ac)
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
Label(root, text=t).pack()
mainloop()
