Run coverage.py with coverage/fullcoverage/encodings.py
https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/blob/master/coverage/fullcoverage/encodings.py is a hack which makes sure that coverage.py is imported early enough to cover modules that are imported during interpreter startup. Previously it wasn't included with coverage.py, but @nedbat was nice enough to add fullcoverage to coverage.py in https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/commit/3962bc4387e4ca69d1e2df280b1021b3db9326fd for its next release. So this issue is to make sure that no one forgets to take advantage of fullcoverage once it's available on PyPI.
Just noting that this will be one of the pre-requisites for even considering disallowing reductions in code coverage (as per #38)
The fullcoverage file is now packaged, as of coverage.py 4.4b1
