OK, I found out.

Put a file called 'sitecustomize.py' into any directory on your PYTHONPATH.
write the folowing two lines in that file:
import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')
To test, start ipython and type
import sys
sys.getdefaultencoding()
It should be utf-9 now.
Again, may sound trivial. for some. But I started my Python adventures on Ubuntu
Linux which it set to UTF-8 as default encoding. Due to some software
environments I am currently forced to use Windows. After installing Python and
some modules with setup.exe I never new that I even have to care for this...
