I can try to run more tests if you know some other major Python applications (modules?) working on Windows/Python 3. The major ones aren't really the concern. I'd be interested to see where numpy and pandas are at, but I suspect they've already encountered and fixed many of these issues due to the size of the user base. (Though skim-reading numpy I see lots of code that would be affected - for better or worse - if the default encoding for open() changed...)

For a case of "Don't break software already trying to do things right", the https://github.com/beetbox/beets example that Daniel linked earlier would be a good one to test.

Cheers, Nick.
