The crude equivalent of .bashrc/.zshrc/whatever shell startup script for
cmd is setting a string value (REG_SZ) in
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor named autorun and setting that
with whatever command(s) you want to run whenever the shell starts. Mine
has a value of '@chcp 65001>nul'. I actually run zsh when practical
(gotta love Cygwin) and I have an equivalent command in my .zshrc.
Getting unicode to work in a Windows is a hassle, but it /can/ work.
CPython does have a bug that makes it annoying at times, though -
