It turns out that cx-freeze deliberately sets Py_IgnoreEnvironmentFlag to ensure that the final executable is really an isolated, standalone executable (ie, it can't be subverted by setting PYTHONPATH.) Therefore the PYTHONIOENCODING work-around does not work in this situation. I am currently using a cx-freeze work-around from the author to enable the PYTHONIOENCODING work-around. Altogether not that pleasant. Could Python 3 could just default to some reasonable encoding and keep on chugging?
