  Yes. But not to 'cp1252'. See below.

  This sounds like a lot of work. I have data from various sources. And
does that mean if I set a simple string within my script, I also need to
call encode? Like:

  mystring = 'Suppi String äüß ...'.encode('latin1')

  PythonWin interactive shell: 'iso-8859-1' (which I set in site.py)
  Script: 'cp1252' (no idea where this comes from)
  EXE version: 'ascii'
