My first try wasn't successful since setdefaultencoding is not named
when I imported sys module. After, I import sys module, I needed to
write "reload(sys)" also.

I wonder why we need to call "reload(sys)" to get setdefaultencoding
named?

sys.setdefaultencoding is purposely deleted from the sys module after
it's loaded because you really shouldn't be using it. The reload() call
restores the deleted attribute.

If you'd like a less brittle solution to your encoding issue, explain
what the issue was, and people here can probably help you find a better
solution.

I was using the XMLBuilder(xmlbuilder.py). I'm writing XML files as
"f.write(str(xml))". At execution of that line, it gives error with
description, configure your default encoding... My operating system's
default is utf-8, and Emacs' is utf-8 too. Default of XMLBuilder is
utf-8 too. There were some characters interpreter may couldn't print
in ascii. I have tried to replace those characters like (TM) (R)... I
cannot remember them right now, but if necessary I can find them
easily...

This is the part of xmlbuilder.py which raises the error.

try:
if self.pretty:
# tabs are evil, so we will use two spaces
outstr = self._dom.toprettyxml("
",encoding=self.encoding)
else:
outstr = self._dom.toxml(encoding=self.encoding)
except UnicodeDecodeError:
sys.stderr.write('Decoding Error: You must configure
default encoding\n')
sys.exit()

What I can do instead of "import sys; reload(sys);
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')"?

Happy coding
