test/spec_tests.py not working

[XAMPPRocky]

When python test/spec_tests.py --dump-tests is run the following error appears.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test/spec_tests.py", line 127, in <module>
    print(json.dumps(tests, ensure_ascii=False, indent=2))
  File "C:\Python34\lib\encodings\cp437.py", line 19, in encode
    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_map)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2192' in position 100: character maps to <undefined> 

Python version: 3.4.3

I'm unable to reproduce this. Python 3.4.3, OSX 10.9.5;
LANG=en_US.UTF-8. I also tried it on Ubuntu. More information on your
environment? What is your locale?

Oh sorry, I forgot to mention this is on windows 7.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about character encoding
on Windows to help with this. Maybe someone else can?

I think this change should fix your problem; it forces the output to be UTF-8 (which is desirable; we don't want the contents of the dumped json to vary depending on the platform you used to produce it).
Let me know if you still have the problem.
