[issue1602] windows console doesn't print or input Unicode

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

The poor interaction with the Windows command line is still a bug in CPython - we could mark it closed/later but I don't see any value in doing so.

I see Drekin's win_unicode_console module as similar to my own contextlib2 - used to prove the concept, and perhaps iterate on some of the details, but the ultimate long term solution is to fix CPython itself.
