support acii in console in python

To support ASCII characters in the console with Python, you can encode the strings that contain ASCII characters using the ASCII encoding. By default, Python uses the UTF-8 encoding, which supports a wider range of characters, including non-ASCII characters.

To encode a string using ASCII, you can use the encode() method with the "ascii" argument. For example:

main.py
s = "Hello, world!"
encoded_s = s.encode("ascii")
print(encoded_s)
67 chars
4 lines

This will output:

main.py
b'Hello, world!'
17 chars
2 lines

The b at the beginning of the output indicates that the string is encoded as bytes.

Note that if you try to encode a string that contains non-ASCII characters using the ASCII encoding, a UnicodeEncodeError will be raised. In this case, you can either replace the non-ASCII characters with ASCII equivalents or switch to using a different encoding that supports the non-ASCII characters.
