 "pl_PL.UTF-8" is the locale; the encoding is just "UTF-8".

 that, instead of ISO-8859-1?

 Probably. Try using some non-ASCII characters in e.g. d.text text="..."
 and see what works.

 If you have a Unicode version of wxWidgets, it's likely to use Unicode
 internally (e.g. for anything you type into a text field). That will get
 converted to a byte string (either by wxWidgets or by Python) by the time
 that it's passed to d.text, and it will probably use the locale's encoding
 to perform the conversion.
