As a user I experienced this bug. With python 3.1, the interpreter terminate with fatal error: "Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams LookupError: unknown encoding: cp720" I think, this can be replicated by changing the active code page in the cmd session, before invoking the interpreter. The following command will do so: > chcp 720 without the patch python would crash after this command. I think testing the patch after this command is sufficient.
