Content
Right now Python happily falls back to ASCII if it can not parse your LC_CTYPE or something similar happens. Instead of falling back to ASCII it would be better if it falls back to UTF-8. Alternatively it should at least give a warning that it's falling back to ASCII. This issue was discussed at PyCon and the consensus so far was that falling back to UTF-8 in 3.3 might be a good idea and should not break much code as UTF-8 is a superset of ASCII.
