[issue26227] Windows: socket.gethostbyaddr(name) fails for non-ASCII hostname

I have Python 3.7.4 and have the same exception:
print (socket.gethostbyaddr("127.0.0.1"))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xcf in position 6: invalid continuation byte

My OS is Win7 and my computer name contains cyrillic characters.
