Python 2.7.11:

>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostname()
'\xc9manuel-PC'

This one works on Python 3 because the Python function is implemented with a call to the Windows native API.

>>> socket.gethostbyaddr(socket.gethostname())
('\xc9manuel-PC.home', [], ['fe80::c9b7:5117:eea4:a104'])

This one fails on Python 3 because it uses the gethostbyaddr() C function and then decodes the hostname from UTF-8, whereas the hostname looks more to be encoded to ISO 8859-1 or something like that. IMHO it should be decoded from the ANSI code page.

I opened the issue #26227 to track this bug.
