compile_files tries to escape non-printable characters in error messages by using sys.stdout.encoding
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Lib/compileall.py#L256

when using contextlib.redirect_stdout to redirect stdout to io.StringIO as explained in the documentation
https://docs.python.org/3/library/contextlib.html#contextlib.redirect_stdout

compile_file fails, because io.StringIO has encoding set to None.
