Comment 19 for bug 340394

Hi Alexander,
I checked your hints.
The result ("s") is what I was aiming at.
Thanks a lot for this workaround.

I still do not consider this bug solved:
1) next to the standalone windows installer I have to take care now that bzrlib is available
2) I consider
p_log = subprocess.Popen(('bzr log --short'),
                     stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, bufsize=-1)
as faster.
3) why these encoding problems?

As a suggestion:
Incorporate your code in the "bzr log" command:
bzr log --export-encoding "utf-8" --file-name "mylog.txt"
and everyone is happy and this bug could be closed.

What do you think.?

Thanks again for your help.
