Me too. (Assuming I understand Steve's comments on backends, and he's
comfortable with the idea that backends need to capture and manage
MSVC output for presentation to the frontend).
Sounds like you understood my comments :) +1 overall (-0 on a formal way
to pass logs via the disk)
As I mentioned at one point, there's a bug against the CPython test
suite that the distutils tests show too much console output, which is
because distutils currently just lets MSVC write directly to the
console. To fix it, we need to capture the output and then conditionally
display it, at which point transcoding from ANSI to UTF-8 with 'replace'
is trivial, and saves the front end (in this case, the test suite) from
having to guess. So it is something that the backend around MSVC needs
to do regardless, and if the PEP says "send me UTF-8" then it's one less
thing for the backend developer to guess.
Cheers,
Steve
