We, as non-english writers, need 'getdefaultlocale' to set the default encoding for 
unicode strings: 
 
lang,encoding=locale.getdefaultlocale() 
sys.setdefaultencoding(encoding) 
 
The problem can be fixed easyly by insert the new locales into the locale_alias of 
module locale: 
 
locale_alias={ 
... 
 "de_de@euro": "de_DE.iso8859_15", 
 "de_at@euro": "de_AT@iso8859_15", 
 "es_es@euro":"es_ES@iso8859_15", 
... 
} 
 
As a workarround, you can modify the locale_alias into the sitecustomize.py 
 
# adding euro locales 
import locale 
eurolocs=[ "ca_ES", "da_DK", "de_AT", "de_BE", "de_DE", "de_LU", "en_BE", 
 "en_IE", "es_ES", "eu_ES", "fi_FI", "fr_BE", "fr_FR", "fr_LU", 
 "ga_IE", "gl_ES", "it_IT", "nl_BE", "nl_NL", "pt_PT", "sv_FI" 
] 
 
for l in eurolocs: 
 key=l.lower()+"@euro" # eg: "es_es@euro" 
 cod=l+".iso8859_15" # eg: "es_ES.iso8859_15" 
 locale.locale_alias[key]=cod 
 
# Setting the unicode default encoding 
import sys 
if hasattr(sys,"setdefaultencoding"): 
 lang,encoding=locale.getdefaultlocale() 
 sys.setdefaultencoding(encoding)
