>>> print(sys.stdout.encoding)
utf8

That's what I was expecting.  However when I add that to my web log
output I get this:

get_recipe() PYTHONIOENCODING:  None
get_recipe() encoding:  646

Dang!  I was sure that I fixed that.  I have this in my Apache
configuration:

SetEnv PYTHONIOENCODING utf8

I guess I have an Apache problem now, not a Python one.  The strange
thing is that this was a fix for a similar problem I asked about and it
worked.  Isn't there some way that I can just set the default encoding
to utf8 for every Python program?  Googling suggests that I can't do
that but that doesn't see right.

Since utf8 includes ASCII why wouldn't it be the default anyway?
