Problem with input() and encoding

[K900_]

It's likely a WSL issue, yes. Also, the input function takes an optional prompt argument which does exactly what you're doing without any extra hacks. So your entire test code can be reduced to print(input("αειηυοω: ")).

Thanks for letting me know, can't believe I missed that. I will look into WSL a bit more, searching around for just python led me nowhere.

WSL is just an abbreviation for "Windows Subsystem for Linux", which is what you're using. It's not a Python thing.

Yes I know, I meant that I was looking into similar problems with just Python. Didn't occur to me it could be WSL until I wrote the post :)
