This would be a bad turn on Python's part.

   For the time being, the encoding used in may files, the printer,
   the operating system is "latin-1".

   Python should provide a convenient way to transparently convert
   between Unicode and my default environment, when I tell is so.

   Hopefully, we can prevent this turn into Americanims!
