BTW, in the previous SO link i posted there is a link to Python docs which apparently answers your "what tricks Python is pulling" question:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0528/
AFAIK, this is the last word on the issue: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-command-line-unicode-and-utf-8-output-text-buffer/The current changes also don’t cover what is required for our “processed input mode” that presents an editable input line for applications like CMD.exe.
