+	    [Python] Python 3 byte string output: use errors="surrogateescape"
+            if available on the version of Python that's in use. This allows
+            obtaining the original byte string (and potentially trying a fallback
+            encoding) if the bytes can't be decoded as UTF-8.
+
+            Previously, a UnicodeDecodeError would be raised with no way to treat
+            the data as bytes or try another codec.
