There was a problem hiding this comment.
Seems fine! Happy to merge as-is.
Optional suggestion/question: Would it be reasonable to just always configure PYTHONIOENCODING to be utf-8 regardless of operating system, just to reduce the number of setup paths? (Alternatively is there maybe some way to do this in the code rather than as an environment variable - I'm not super familiar with Python's Windows quirks so this may well not be possible!).
