Emil Stenström added the comment:
I think changing the error message is enough for the short term, and
deprecation of automatic encoding is the correct way in the long term.
A text that mention "utf-8" which will likely be the correct solution
definitely gets my vote, so Guidos suggestion sounds good to me:
UnicodeEncodeError("Use data.encode('utf-8') if you want the data to be encoded
in UTF-8")
Andrew's and Pauls suggestions doesn't point to a solution to the problem,
which I think is a great think for something this basic. Also, the error
message only gets shown when latin-1 fails, so we can't use text that speaks
about "no encoding" in general.
