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

[Joseph Perry]

Joseph Perry added the comment:

I've found a workaround by specifying the enviroment variable:

my_env = os.environ
my_env['PYTHONIOENCODING'] = 'utf-8'
p = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split(command), stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, env=my_env)

I've attached an example script for testing. It calls itself recursively 10 times.
Pleased note the 'fix' variable.
