Comment(by null.atou@…):

 In Japanese environment, when make a new user, default LANG is set to
 ja_JP.UTF-8. While a dot file ~/.CFUserTextEncoding(this file affects
 !__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING) is '1:14'. '1' means that encoding is CP10001; x
 -mac-japanese. But, we Japanese don't use x-mac-japanese but use UTF-8 in
 Terminal. Yes, we prefer UTF-8, not x-mac-japanese.

 At a glance, the way of python-issue-1276 seems adding encodings(x-mac-
 japanese, etc.) to the table of codecs. But these patches don't correct
 the locale problem in the environment of LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8, because LANG
 was still ignored. And I found, in Python 3.1 (more correctly 3.1rc2),
 they disappear the special routine for darwin or !__APPLE!__ that use
 CoreFoundation function as mentioned above, so as to follow standard UNIX
 manner. This change looks same as Apple's
 [http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/python/python-44/2.6/fix/
 patches].
 {{{
 % LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 /usr/bin/python2.6 -c 'import locale;
 print(locale.getpreferredencoding());'
 UTF-8
 % LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 /opt/local/bin/python3.1 -c 'import locale;
 print(locale.getpreferredencoding());'
 UTF-8
 % LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 /opt/local/bin/python2.6 -c 'import locale;
 print(locale.getpreferredencoding());'
 x-mac-japanese  # bad!
  }}}
