Thanks, that did work as an alternative to setting the variable.

Very interesting.  That did help it out and the expected messages showed 
up in `out.txt`.  I tried checking all encodings in pyqtdeploy (except 
the Japanese that seemed to not be present in my Python install) but 
that didn't help.  I had previously added cp1252 (IIRC) when that was 
complained about being missing while running from within pyqtdeploy.

So, with this ability to see the messages I was able to get a messy but 
functional .pdy file that creates a `result` directory I can copy to a 
clean virtual machine and run.  Well, I did have to install drivers for 
my CAN adapter, but that's expected.  Thanks so much for the help.  I 
guess I have to continue digging into what is wrong with stdout.  
Perhaps it is a Win10 issue?  At least it is recreatable and without 
pyqtdeploy or PyQt at all, I think.  This exact command prints in Cygwin 
but exits silently and with a 0 exit code (%errorlevel%) in cmd.exe.  
Redirecting does not help in this case though, so maybe not quite the 
same.
