[Tutor] symbol encoding and processing problem

OK, I found out.

Put a file called 'sitecustomize.py' into any directory on your PYTHONPATH.

write the folowing two lines in that file:

import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

To test, start ipython and type

import sys
sys.getdefaultencoding()

It should be utf-9 now.

Again, may sound trivial. for some. But I started my Python adventures on Ubuntu
Linux which it set to UTF-8 as default encoding. Due to some software
environments I am currently forced to use Windows. After installing Python and
some modules with setup.exe I never new that I even have to care for this...
