[New-bugs-announce] [issue8693] Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams

[Muhammad Bashir Al-Noimi]

New submission from Muhammad Bashir Al-Noimi <mbnoimi at gmx.com>:

After installing python-3.1.2.msi I'm not able to run to python.exe at all because it gives me the following error message:

Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
LookupError: unknown encoding: cp720

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

PS
    * I'm using WinXp SP3 32Bit
