In addition, today I tested the application on Python-2.4.2 + Quixote-2.4
and found that I could get rid of sys.setdefaultencoding().

When I wrote it last year, both Python-2.3 and Quixote-2.0 had
mysterious Unicode related problems such as using % operator so I gave
up and decided to change default encoding simply. Improvement in
Unicode support of current version of both softwares seems to resolve
such problems. (CHANGES told me it was done at Quixote-2.2)

Perhaps, implicit conversion between unicode and str is evil, or default
encoding should not be site global.
