[Python-ideas] Fix default encodings on Windows

[Steve Dower]

Just a heads-up that I've assigned http://bugs.python.org/issue1602 to 
myself and started a patch for the console changes. Let's move the 
console discussion back over there.

Hopefully it will show up in 3.6.0b1, but if you're prepared to apply a 
patch and test on Windows, feel free to grab my work so far. There's a 
lot of "making sure other things aren't broken" left to do.

Cheers,
Steve
