Martin v. Loewis:

I don't know whether Neil was actually aware of that feature: In site.py, if you uncomment the block ...

At the start of writing the mail, I just thought there should be a codec that failed conversions, by the end of the mail I'd found "undefined", and after sending found the site.py switch.

When following unexpected conversion failure discussions on c.l.py, I can't recall this being mentioned as a debugging tool. Turning it on found several uninteresting ASCII literal promotion 'problems' in a small working application so the technique could be too noisy for some users.
