Hi, I've searched the net but didn't find the information I need. Using Python-2.7.1, I know, I can't modify defaultencoding at run time. Python even ignores export PYTHONIOENCODING=ISO8859-1
locale.getdefaultlocale()[1] returns 'ISO8859-1' still sys.stdout is using the ascii codec. How can I recompile Python (itself) to change this to iso8859-1 ? (My favourite editor cannot be told to use unicode.) Many thanks for a hint, Helmut. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
