No. You can set it in site.py, but that is discouraged, since it means
that the same code will run differently on different machines.

Explicit is better than implicit, you should always use .encode if you
want to output a Unicode object onto a byte stream (such as
sys.stdout).

If you just want to print it for debugging purposes, using repr() is
best.
