[issue19977] Use "surrogateescape" error handler for sys.stdin and sys.stdout on UNIX for the C locale

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Larry: I'm assuming it's way too late to make a change like this for the 3.4 release?

Slavek: assuming this change is made for 3.5 upstream, we may want to look at backporting it as a 3.4 patch in Fedora (as part of the Python-3-by-default project). Otherwise it's very easy to provoke Python 3 into throwing Unicode errors when attempting to print data provided by the OS.
