Martin Panter added the comment:
IMO adding a Popen(errors=...) parameter would be a new feature for 3.6+ only. Also, the patch does not take the error handler into account when encoding and decoding multiple PIPEs in communicate().
I think it would be better to fix this bug in Lib/distutils/_msvccompiler.py only. The equivalent bug fix would look like:
out = subprocess.check_output(
...,
stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,
# No universal_newlines!
)
...
out = io.TextIOWrapper(io.BytesIO(out), errors="surrogateescape").read()
Or maybe a simpler version is sufficient: (I’m not familiar enough with the use case or Windows to say.)
out = out.decode("ascii", "surrogateescape")
