eric4 set the system default encoding to the value selected in the 
configuration dialog (default is utf-8). This is done by saving a function of 
the sys module via eric4.pth. This function is deleted by Python otherwise.

You can do something similiar in your code or give an encoding to all calls to 
unicode(...).
