The terminal encoding has always been utf-8. It was not set programmatically. It seems to me that python 3.1's string handling is broken. Apparently, in python 3.1 I am unable to explicitly set the encoding of a string and print() it out with the result being human readable text. On the other hand, if I let python do the encoding implicitly, python uses a codec I don't want it to. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
