[Scons-users] SCons 3.0.0.alpha.20170614 available on testpypi

o.k.
I should be able to make a unit test for such and theoretically should only

>>> u'\xdf'
'ß'
>>> u'\xdf'.encode('utf-8')
b'\xc3\x9f'
>>> u'\xdf'.encode('latin-1')
b'\xdf'

CP1252 has been a problem child for me in the past.. so not surprised it
shows up again..
