No, I can't. Python doesn't accept UTF-16 as encoding.
This works:
> LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 python2.4
Python 2.4 (#1, Nov 30 2004, 14:16:24)
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-113)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.encoding
'UTF-8'
This doesn't:
> LANG=de_DE.UTF-16 python2.4
Python 2.4 (#1, Nov 30 2004, 14:16:24)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.encoding
'ANSI_X3.4-1968'
