works just fine for me, since you're just printing an internal Python
string.
It will work fine unless you're on Mike's machine - if
sys.stdout.encoding is cp850 and you've got unicode_literals imported
(or are using python3), it won't.
Ok. I'm on Mike's machine and I'm using Python 3.5 ...
But I just discovered a command >chcp 1252 which switches the active
code page and sys.stdout respects that.
The problem is from trying to print a binary string (which is what
you get from .encode()) as an internal Python string. If you specify an
encoding, the error goes away:
print("M├┠h├┤v├¿r├ºr├áft ├«├ƒ f├╗┼él ├Âf
├®├¬l┼ø".encode("utf-8").decode("cp1252", "replace"))
The only reason to encode to utf-8 and then decode from cp1252 is to
fix incorrect input.
I think you mean .encode("cp1252", "replace").decode("cp1252")
