wesm/pandas — comment on commit 96ae488f16e6a314af593024e74a4dea31b5a610
File: pandas/tests/test_frame.py line 1848
By lodagro:

One could e.g add ```_encoding``` in core.common, set it as default to ```sys.stdin.encoding``` or ```'ascii'``` if that does not work. And use core.common._encoding further on. This way the unittests can enforce an encoding e.g UTF-8 (by changing core.common._encoding) and you know what you will get.

I tested again with all the new fixes and when using 'Latin1' codec, one unittest fails due to unicde.
