It just occurred to me that we should probably have a porting note about that CLI change. We decided that changing the default CLI behaviour, while preserving the default module API was the best available compromise, but anyone that is invoking the CLI programmatically and wants to skip bootstrapping pip will still need to change their command.

Cheers, Nick.

+ * The encoding name is now optional in the value set for the :envvar:PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable. This makes it possible to set just the error handler, without changing the default encoding.
