"LANG=C python3 setup.py build_scripts" chokes on UTF-8 encoded scripts. The problem is that "copy_scripts" uses "open" without specifying an encoding. This issue may be related to #9561.

Does POSIX mandate an encoding when using the C locale?

Why does this matter? PEP 3120 specifies UTF-8 as the default source encoding.

Okay.  Then this bug is part of #9561.
