Hum, this particular issue, #6501, doesn't concern the code page 65001. The
typical usecase (issues #7441 and #10920) is:
------------
C:\victor\cpython>chcp 65001
Page de codes active : 65001
C:\victor\cpython>pcbuild\python_d.exe
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
LookupError: unknown encoding: cp65001
------------
The console and console output code pages may be changed by something else.
The current workaround is to set PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable to
utf-8, but as explained in msg132831, the workaround is not applicable if
Python is embeded or if the program has been frozen by cx-freeze ("cx-freeze
deliberately sets Py_IgnoreEnvironmentFlag").

The issue #6501 was a bug in io.device_encoding(). I fixed it in Python 3.3 and
I'm waiting... since 5 months... for Graham Dumpleton before backporting the
fix. The issue suggests also to not fail if the encoding cannot be found (I
dislike this idea).
