STINNER Victor <vstinner at redhat.com> added the comment:

> Before Vista, the code page 65001 behaved differently than official UTF-8 codec. Vista changed that. Maybe it's time to remove Lib/encodings/cp65001.py and make it an alias to utf_8 codec: see https://bugs.python.org/issue36778#msg341531

FYI it's exactly what I did:
