LookupError: unknown encoding: utf_8_euro

At the application (DABO) mailing list, they have pointed that this has
to be a Python issue.

It's definitely not a Python issue.

As I'm a totally python newbie, I would ask if
somebody has experimented this kind of error, and if there is any known
solution. I've found no clue searching at Google right now.

The problem is that self.Encoding is incorrect - it should not be
utf_8_euro. Instead, it should be UTF-8 (or perhaps utf_8). DABO
shouldn't use locale.getdefaultlocale()[1], but
locale.getpreferredencoding().

I think that is the effect of a bug:

locale._parse_localename("en_US.UTF-8@euro")
('en_US', 'utf_8_euro')

The function first normalizes the "@" away and then looks for it. Is that
the expected behaviour?
