[New-bugs-announce] [issue29898] PYTHONLEGACYWINDOWSIOENCODING isn't implemented

[Eryk Sun]

New submission from Eryk Sun:

The environment variable PYTHONLEGACYWINDOWSIOENCODING is documented here:

https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONLEGACYWINDOWSIOENCODING

but not actually implemented. Also, I think setting PYTHONIOENCODING to anything except UTF-8 should disable using io._WindowsConsoleIO.
