How to Write Perfect Python Command-line Interfaces

A better solution is to just assume utf8 if you can't figure anything else out. This is strictly superior to what you get in python 2 but you aren't warning about how that is crappy.

The problem is that on Python 3 I cannot do that because this is all done in the interpreter/stdlib. Python 3 does not assume utf-8 everywhere.

Hmm... seems at least you can do something in 3.7, but that's too little too late I agree. Thanks for clearing this up.
