Re: [Boa Constr] boa & unicode : sitecustomize.py not read

[Riaan B. <riaan@e.co.za>]

Hi Denis,

You are probably using the exe version of Boa, that means that
everything is compiled
into the exe and no external py files like sitecustomize.py are run.

You can still set the default encoding via the command-line switch -U,
e.g. Boa.exe -U utf-8
But as the exe version uses the ascii version of wxPython it may still
give issues.

I suggest you use the source version of Boa.

Cheers,
Riaan.
