What makes you think that? I tried it on Windows XP, in a
cmd.exe session.

I could enter, for example, an ü (umlauted u), which in the
resulting string came out encoded as \x81, as is correct in
the encoding used by the console window, namely cp850. I
could then convert this to latin1 by using
s.decode(sys.stdin.encoding).encode("latin-1").
