[Python-Dev] PEP 528: Change Windows console encoding to UTF-8

[Adam Bartoš]

>
> The use of an ASCII compatible encoding is required to maintain
> compatibility with code that bypasses the TextIOWrapper and directly
> writes ASCII bytes to the standard streams (for example, [process_stdinreader.py]
> <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0528/#process-stdinreader-py> ).
> Code that assumes a particular encoding for the standard streams other than
> ASCII will likely break.


Note that for example in IDLE there are sys.std* stream objects that don't
have buffer attribute. I would argue that it is incorrect to suppose that
there is always one.
