jython 'utf8 encoding not found error

Hi,

I have a problem with jython 'utf8' encoding.

The Jython version I am using is 2.5.3, embedded in my web application. After doing this in my Java code:

PythonInterpreter pythonInterpreter = new PythonInterpreter();

pythonInterpreter.exec("import codecs");

pythonInterpreter.exec("codecs.getreader('utf8')");

Such an error occurs:

File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

File "__pyclasspath__/codecs$py.class", line 920, in getreader

LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding 'utf8'

How can the reader with 'utf8' encoding be obtained properly?

According to the python documentation, there should be 'utf8' encoding available in codecs module: https://docs.python.org/2/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings (lower / upper case and hyphen / underscore are all allowed).

I use Windows 7, java 1.7.0_71. OS should not matter I guess - this is the web application run on jboss (version 7.2).

I've also posted the question to the stackoverflow, but no answers yet...:
