While I'm not opposed to PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=warn, I'm not sure that developers will use it. Usually, developers don't care of Unicode until enough users complain that their application don't work on a specific configuration on a specific platform :-) So I'm not sure that it's useful.

It isn't cross-platform app developers that I expect to find it useful, it's system integrators and operating system developers. They're users too (and those categories are largely a better description of my own Python development background than user facing app development would be).

Cheers, Nick.
