Paul Moore added the comment: The proposed wording seems a bit over-complex to me. Maybe the following re-wording would be easier to understand? The character encoding is platform-dependent. Non-Windows platforms use the locale encoding (see locale.getpreferredencoding()).

Eryk Sun added the comment: I discussed character devices mostly because of the NUL device. It could be surprising that Python dies on an encoding error when output is redirected to NUL: C:\>chcp 1252 Active code page: 1252 C:\>python -c "print('\u20ac')" > nul C:\>chcp 437

Steve Dower added the comment: Looks great, though I wonder whether the rest of the paragraph after "Character devices such as NUL" would be more confusing than it's worth? Can you create a PR? (And having links to the environment variable docs would be great.) -- ___

Eryk Sun added the comment: How about this? The character encoding is platform-dependent. Non-Windows platforms use the locale encoding (see locale.getpreferredencoding()). On Windows, UTF-8 is used for console character devices (i.e. CON, CONIN$, and CONOUT$). However, t

New submission from Paul Moore: The documentation for the encoding of sys.stdin/out/err (see https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/sys.html#sys.stdout) does not reflect the change in Python 3.6 on Windows to use the console Unicode APIs, and hence UTF-8 for the encoding. -- assignee: do
