Windows desktop skus have a default ANSI codepage (returned by GetACP()) of 1252 (Western European). Windows IoT Core and Windows Nano Server have a default codepage of 65001 (UTF-8).
This causes test_site.StartupImportTests.test_startup_imports to fail on Windows IoT Core and Windows Nano Server because cp65001.py is loaded instead of the frozen cp1252.py at startup.
I tried changing the default codepage to 65001 on my dev machine and rebuilding Python and it had no effect that I could tell on the generated frozen importlibs.
The simplest solutions would be for the test_startup_imports test to be skipped or changed to pass when the locale.getpreferredencoding() returns 'cp65001'
Sorry I clicked the wrong button in the branch view on my fork.
