I haven't used the locale module a lot, but it seems to me that if
you're setting the locale with locale.setlocale(), you should get the
encoding from locale.getlocale()[1].

You're not really interested in the system's default encoding at this
point, you're interested in the encoding of the locale you've
explicitly set.
