Yes, that's fine. UTF-8 is an excellent encoding choice, and encoding/decoding should always be done explicitly in Python, so the "default encoding" ideally ought to never come into play (and indeed, Python 3 does away with bug-prone implicit encoding/decoding entirely FWICT). Having ASCII as the "default encoding" ensures that implicit encoding/decoding bugs are relatively apparent.
