Python Set Default Encoding ('utf-8')

Asked by John Chen

Hi OpenERP Team

I can see that Python defaultencoding in OpenERP is ('ascii'). And i have found a way to allow it to become ('utf-8') by using this code:
- import sys
- sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

Questions
1. Is there any impact that may cause system error or others if i set the defaultencoding to ('utf-8')?
2. Is there any way to change the defaultencoding in OpenERP library / configuration / setting? (so i don't need to use import sys, sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8') in every .py file)

Thanks

John Chen

don't rely on default encoding. Always specify encoding explicitly when
converting between unicode and byte string.
If there is any encoding or decoding error, it signal that you specify
encoding wrongly somewhere.
