trunk unicode merge breaks admin script

[Andres Salomon <dilinger@…>]

Hi,

The unicode merge broke Trac with python2.3, due to a bug in python2.3's locale module. This shows up as:

ilinger@lith:~/trac-db-testing$ sudo trac-admin /usr/local/foo Welcome to trac-admin 0.10dev Interactive Trac administration console. Copyright (c) 2003-2006 Edgewall Software

Type: '?' or 'help' for help on commands.

Trac /usr/local/foo> component list

Command failed: unknown encoding: en_gb

locale.getdefaultlocale() reads the LANGUAGE variable incorrect, and returns a value that the encode() method does not understand. This also causes the unit tests to fail. Instead of working around the bug, a better solution is to call locale.getpreferredencoding() (all we care about is the encoding anyways), since it is not broken in python2.3.

string encoding fix for python2.3+trac; against r3025

Andres, would you mind checking if with my changes (i.e. r3114) this still works for you?
