Yes, we conditionally import the "locale" module in order to guess the encoding when it is not specified by the caller. We can't import it at module initialization time because it would cause bootstrapping issues. The Python equivalent of the logic expressed in C code in the _io module can be found here: http://code.python.org/hg/branches/py3k/file/51117227ac82/Lib/_pyio.py#l1410
