python3 and mintty: why ANSI_X3.4-1968 encoding

[Frédéric Bron]

I am using mintty with option Text.locale=fr_FR and Character set=UTF-8
Why, then, python3 reports a different encoding (ANSI_X3.4-1968) for
stdout and stdin?

$ cat toto.py
import sys
print(sys.stdin.encoding)
print(sys.stdout.encoding)

$ python3 toto.py
ANSI_X3.4-1968
ANSI_X3.4-1968

Thanks,

Frédéric
