I don't think we can count that python 3 uses utf-8 per default.

I strongly suspect that, if one uses a Python3 version < 3.7, it will
still default to ASCII.

On a quick look, the new UTF-8 mode was added on PEP-540:

	https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0540/

Such change happened at Python 3.7. 

Yet, according with PEP, it defaults to off, unless when using POSIX 
locale.

Thanks,
Mauro
