[issue6135] subprocess seems to use local encoding and give no choice

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

I'll prepare a patch for the following:
* add encoding and errors parameters to subprocess functions
* add 'oem' encoding to make it easy to choose (but don't try and guess when it is used)

EITHER
* allow string or 2-tuple (stdin, stdout/err) or 3-tuple (stdin, stdout, stderr) for both encoding and errors
OR
* only allow single specified encoding/errors
* add stdin_opener/stdout_opener/stderr_opener parameters to produce the text-based reader

Any thoughts?
