Or if you're sufficiently devious, it's available any time (not that 
actually using it is a good idea, but...):

 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.setdefaultencoding
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setdefaultencoding'
 >>> del sys.modules['sys']
 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.setdefaultencoding
<built-in function setdefaultencoding>
