Message 100932 - Python tracker

Oops :)  Yeah, that was pretty lousy way to show what encoding I was using for that test:

>>> import locale
>>> locale.getpreferredencoding()
'cp1252'
>>>

(Somewhat related, it would be nice if Python actually normalized defaultencoding/preferredencoding to some canonical name for the codec in use, i.e. preferred MIME name or at least IANA; we had a rather nice little bug recently that wouldn't have happened if that had been the case...)
