Force ASCII is safer. Python should announce that it does not "understand" non-ASCII bytes on the command line. I also chose this option because isalpha(0xe9) returns 0 (even if mbstowcs(0xe9) returns L"\xe9"): FreeBSD doesn't consider U+00E9 as a letter in the C locale, so Python should also consider this byte as raw data.
