Eryk Sun <eryk...@gmail.com> added the comment: ipconfig uses (or defaults to) OEM encoded output when writing to a pipe or file. On the other hand, Python's TextIOWrapper defaults to ANSI (i.e. 'mbcs'). In 3.6+, uuid._ipconfig_getnode could be rewritten to call subprocess.Popen with the new 'oem' encoding.
In Windows 10, the networking command-line utilities (e.g. ipconfig, netstat, nbtstat, ping, tracert, hostname, finger, and ftp) support an "OutputEncoding" environment variable. Its value can be set to "Unicode" (UTF-16), "UTF-8", or "Ansi". I don't think this is supported in Windows 7, however. ---------- nosy: +eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32370> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
