severe mulch
from inside WSL, spawn a Windows process and give it env vars
const argv = &.{ python_executable, "-u", "file.py"};
var child = std.process.Child.init(argv, allocator);
env_map.put("PYTHONIOENCODING", "utf-8") catch |err| std.debug.panic("Failed to put PYTHONIOENCODING into env-map due to {}", .{err});
child.env_map = &env_map;
Expected: Python process is encoded in utf-8
Actual: it is not
ideas?

The WSL binfmt_misc interpreter doesn't transfer your linux env vars over to windows, I just tested it by trying to print an env var I set in linux using powershell in windows
TEST=5 pwsh.exe -Command 'Write-Host $ENV:TEST'
This just prints nothing, meaning the env var wasn't set.

hmm, interesting, would appear that somewhere along the lines the encoding gets messed up as launching it through the terminal, python interprets the encoding as UTF-8, but through Zig, its cp1252, even after I run std.c.setlocale(std.c.LC.ALL, "en_US.UTF-8");
