What is the correct way to set PythonCE's default Unicode encoding? My
reading (Python in a Nutshell) indicates that I am supposed to make a change
to site.py, but there doesn't seem to be a site.py in PythonCE. (The closest
I came is a site.pyc in python23.zip.) Nutshell suggests that in desperation
one could put the following at the start of the main script:
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('iso-8859-15')
del sys.setdefaultencoding
This code solved the problem I was having reading and processing text that
contains Unicode characters, but I am uncomfortable leaving a desperation
solution in place.
