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.
