> #6501 and friends

Hum, this particular issue, #6501, doesn't concern the code page 65001. The typical usecase (issues #7441 and #10920) is:
------------
C:\victor\cpython>chcp 65001
Page de codes active : 65001

C:\victor\cpython>pcbuild\python_d.exe
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
LookupError: unknown encoding: cp65001
------------

The console and console output code pages may be changed by something else.

The current workaround is to set PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable to utf-8, but as explained in msg132831, the workaround is not applicable if Python is embeded or if the program has been frozen by cx-freeze ("cx-freeze deliberately sets Py_IgnoreEnvironmentFlag").
