You did everything correctly; I can reproduce the problem.
The source of the problem is that Python does not support the EUC-TW
encoding. Unless a codec for that encoding is contributed, there is no
chance to run Python 3 in that locale. Python 3.1 will abort execution
with the error message
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
LookupError: unknown encoding: EUC-TW

Martin
