some python distributions don't include the utf-8 string encodings, for reasons
of space (misdirected as that is). if your distribution is missing encodings,
you'll see an error like this:
LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding
this means you need to copy string encodings over from a working system.
(it probably only happens on embedded systems, not normal python installls.)
Valeriy Pogrebitskiy says the best place to look is
'.../lib/python*/encodings/__init__.py'.
