the way chcp takes effect is problematic for this: "Programs that you start after you assign a new code page use the new code page, however, programs (except Cmd.exe) that you started before assigning the new code page use the original code page.

It's had a change in this area and no longer uses the code page. I think there's also a module you can use for pre-3.6, sorry too lazy to do a search. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
