In addition to manually editing the file in your
installation, you can also add the alias programmatically,
to achieve best portability.

I have now added this to aliases.py 1.11.6.1 as well, so it
will be fixed in Python 2.2.2.

For your use, you can edit aliases.py.
It is corrected in current CVS:

Python 2.3a0 (#26, Sep  4 2002, 17:39:22) [C] on irix646
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> 'hello'.decode("windows-1256")
u'hello'
