[issue31876] python363.chm includes gibberish

[Hery]

New submission from Hery :

Just Open https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.3/python363.chm 

And click the first page, it says "What抯 New in Python". And most of pages the 
chm file include some gibberish.

[issue32530] How ro fix the chm encoding in Non western european codepage(cp1252) Windows

[Hery]

New submission from Hery :

Start from Python 3.6.3, the offical chm document is full of corrputed 
character.

Example: the first page which is `What’s New In Python 3.6` `’`is `0x92` in 
cp1252 and will not display correctly in non western european code page.  An 
another example is `9.1. numbers — Numeric abstract base classes` `—` is `0x97`.

The Microsoft HTML Help does not recognise ``.

Then, how to solve it?

According to this 
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sandcastle/2007/09/29/chm-localization-and-unicode-issues-dbcsfix-exe/

I recommand to use the following command to make the hhc encoding chm as cp1252:

SbAppLocale.exe $(LCID) "%PROGRAMFILES%\HTML Help Workshop\hhc.exe" 
Path\Project.HHp

I donnot know to how to submit patch and it seems quite easy to fix by offical 
windows developer.
