Are you doing this on Windows?  Could it be that my -O option is having 
some influence on this?

If I use sitecustomize.py it works for me:
import sys
 >>> sys.getdefaultencoding()
'utf-8'
 >>> import wx
 >>> wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding()
'utf-8'

If I don't use it the default (cpsomething which is equivalent to 
iso8859-1) is getting picked up from somewhere, I don't know where from.

I believe the wx.etc functions pick it up from python based on some 
rules Robin at some point explained, but I can't find the thread at the 
moment.

I started testing my things with wxPython Unicode and my plan is to move 
over to it in the near future and with Python 3000 I understand that 
UTF-8 will the default.  For me the big work will be to change all the 
database stuff, I believe that version 2.1 of Firebird SQL will help me 
on this, will start on this as soon as I am back from a cooking week 
with friends in the south east of France (no Internet access for all 
that time).
