Summary: Solaris error doing a print

Initial Comment:
As seen on Jeff Hobb's box.

print "Registering '%s' (%s)" % (reg_contractid, fname)
  File
"/usr/local/python-2.3/lib/python2.3/encodings/__init__.py",
line 84, in search_function
    globals(), locals(), _import_tail)
ValueError: Empty module name

It seems that this shell has an empty "LANG" var setup
- deleting this var seems to solve the problem.

Looking in sysmodule.c, I see:

	if(codeset && isatty(fileno(stdin))){
(and a similar one for stdout).  Should this be:
	if(codeset && *codeset && isatty(fileno(stdin))){

to prevent an empty name?  Or better, should we check
the encoding is actually installed?

I will mail Jeff and ask him to attach comments on the
version or anything else.
