Unicode Exception upon deploying to robot

[clxe]

When I try to deploy code to the robot with:

py robot.py deploy --builtin --nc

I get a UnicodeEncodeError thrown from the netconsole. I'm confident that this doesn't have anything to do with my code, because it's thrown when I run any of the examples as well.

Here's the contents of the console:

Very interesting, what locale do you have set on your computer?

[virtuald]

Also, it occurs to me -- are you on Windows 10? I feel like something about the console changed there, and I haven't tested on Windows 10 yet.

[clxe]

Yes, I'm using Windows 10. The locale is set to US English.

Sometimes netconsole can spit out a bit of junk at the initial connection (you can see this in the Driver Station log as well). I would recommend the python netconsole catch this exception and fall back to doing something like displaying as escaped characters instead.

[virtuald]

This is a Windows 10/Python 3.5 specific issue, I was able to duplicate it on a Windows 10 laptop. I think the correct answer is to have python escape undecodable characters, I'll try to get this fixed tonight.

[virtuald]

Fixed, pushed to pypi. You can get the fix by doing py -3 -m pip install -U pynetconsole. I'll update pyfrc soon too.
