One thing is that win_unicode_console usually not needed at all on Python 3.6.

e00E commented 7 years ago

Youre right, 3.6 changed the console encoding to utf-8. However I also used win-unicode-console to make the default text file encoding utf-8 which is still cp1252 on 3.6 on Windows but i dont know if you want to support this feature.

Drekin commented 7 years ago

There may definitely be some other features win-unicode-console may be used for, and crashing shouldn't occur in any case, so this should be fixed.

But how did you use WUC to affect default text file encoding? AFAIK WUC doesn't do this.

e00E commented 7 years ago

Ah, I was wrong. I thought a script of mine worked with 3.5 and win-unicode-console but failed in 3.6 when writing some unicode to a text file. I just tested everything again and this wasnt case. You are correct that win-unicode-console doesnt do that.
