Python doesn't really *guess* the encoding, it just reads the encoding from the locale.

What do you mean by "more correct"? How can Python knowns the right encoding better than the user? Python should not guess anything. If the environment is not correctly configured, it's not Python's fault. The user has to fix its environment.
