The use of sys.setdefaultencoding() has always been discouraged, and it has become a no-op in py3k (the encoding is hard-wired to utf-8 and changing it raises an error). It is time to remove this function entirely. The state of PyUnicode_SetDefaultEncoding() should be also considered, since it has become useless for the same reasons. |

Is it possible to add a deprecation warning in 2.7 too? If not, at least a recommendation not to use it in the 2.7 docs? I am willing to write one or two paragraphs to explain why it’s a terrible idea. |

Ok to remove it from Python 3.2. I don't think that it is necessary to update Python 2.7 code/doc. |
