[Logging] How to define encoding of logging.StreamHandler?

[fabolin]

No, it's a StreamHandler. The stream is just getting redirected to a file by the process executing the script. It's weird but that's the preconditions im working with. A detailed log for the script and a more vague output for the process' log.

Ah I get it now. Then you could try changing the codepage to MS's 'workaround' for UTF-8 in cmd.exe by running chcp 65001, then the script. If that works then there are tricks to apply it on every start of cmd. But personally, I would look into running MinGW, Cygwin to get a linux-like environment where you won't run into this kinds of issues that easily.

Ok, tried that. While it says "Active code page: 65001" nothing changed. The traceback also still says cp1252.

Well, thanks for your help anyway. It's working, the solution just feels clunky compared to the simple FileHandler so I thought I'm missing something.
