AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setdefaultencoding'?

Question

In my python env, help() return my python version is 2.7.

Then, I enter:

sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')

and it return this error: "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setdefaultencoding'"

But my python version is 2.7.

Anyone? Thanks a lot.

Have a look at documentation:

• sys.setdefaultencoding: "... Once used by the site module, it is removed from the sys module’s namespace."
• site module: "This module is automatically imported during initialization. The automatic import can be suppressed using the interpreter’s -S option."
