It is consistent. The encoding of
logging.basicConfig(filename='c:\\my_log.log')
is consistent with the encoding of
open('c:\\my_log.log')
Both use the system default encoding, which is not UTF-8. There is some
discussion going on right now, as to whether it *should* be, but it isn't, and
I wouldn't consider changing the behaviour of loging *without* changing the
behaviour of open() to be consistent.
Logging to the console is consistent with the standard IO streams, and it was
PEP 528 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0528/) that made that change -
before that, the standard IO streams, and logging to the console, used the
console codepage.
So, while I agree that the behaviour takes a bit of work to understand, it's
not (IMO) inconsistent, nor is it (IMO) a bug.
