I recently ran into a problem with the system default encoding when using steam-acolyte.

And here‘s the error log:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0x91 in position 94: illegal multibyte sequence

The reason for this error is that the default string encoding for my region is CP936(also known as gbk). So the default encoding of the open method in python is gbk, but I turned on the "Use UTF-8 as global language support" feature, which caused the error.

In [1]:  import locale; locale.getdefaultlocale()
Out[1]: ('zh_CN', 'cp936')

In [2]:  import sys; sys.getdefaultencoding()
Out[2]: 'utf-8'
