Perhaps a switch along the lines of -t and -tt (warnings/errors for mixing tabs and spaces)? So by default Python continues to guess based on the locale encoding (perhaps with a PYTHONTEXTENCODING to override the locale specifically for Python). Then -T might warn whenever a text file encoding is guessed rather than specified and -TT might raise an error.
