locale.getdefaultencoding checks first LANGUAGE, then the LC_* and LANG variables. Assume LANGUAGE is set to en:de, and LANG to en_US.utf-8, then getdefaultencoding returns the wrong encoding (ISO8859-1). AFAIK, LANGUAGE is specific to gettext (GNU extension), and IMO should not interfer with getting the correct encoding. This patch uses LANGUAGE as the choice with the lowest priority, so the other variables to determine the locale and encoding take precedence (LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG). There's another (minor) bug in the implementation: LANGUAGE is honoured even if the default locale is "C".
