Hehe, strange because it's in dabo's __init__.py and surely:

Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:57:41)

[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import dabo

>>> dabo.getEncoding()

'UTF8'

>>>

Whatever, I'm glad you sorted this out. Will keep your workaround in mind ;)
