[Python-Dev] Unicode literals in Python 2.7

[Adam Bartoš]

Hello,

is it possible to somehow tell Python 2.7 to compile a code entered in the
interactive session with the flag PyCF_SOURCE_IS_UTF8 set? I'm considering
adding support for Python 2 in my package (
https://github.com/Drekin/win-unicode-console) and I have run into the fact
that when u"α" is entered in the interactive session, it results in
u"\xce\xb1" rather than u"\u03b1". As this seems to be a highly specialized
question, I'm asking it here.

Regards, Drekin
