[Eric] Unicode issue

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

eric is doing a little trickery save a method of the sys module to set the 
default encoding and uses that saved method later on to set the encoding to 
the configured value (default utf8). The trickery code is included in 
eric4.pth.

Without this, strings (str) are ASCII encoded and one has to use the 
encode("utf8") and the respective decode methods.

Regards,
Detlev
