RexFi explains me that Python can't guess eval('len(u"é")') charset.

I personally like to see a charset argument for eval() and compile(). exec would not directly support other charsets; you would have to compile() first to specify a charset.

I have a patch somewhere that does that, but did not get to publish it yet.
