well there is 4.10 :-) but that is another story and I'd say wait and
see for that. This issue here is more about python3 the builtin 'open'
function behaviour and the fact that without specifying the encoding
(and with the default mode being text) the encoding defaults to the
current locale encoding causing this problem. I'm wondering should we
start now specifying  'utf8' encoding in open (builtin & io.open) but
yeah in either  case there are many subtleties which make it hehe a bit
daunting. iirc there were similar problems with some of the gpo code
when it got ported to python3
