[x3d-public] Generating python issue. Windows 10

[John Carlson]

Python problem. Output to terminal is not the same as output to pipe.

Git Bash on Windows 10.  Also under PowerShell. Under Windows Terminal.
Python 3.10.2.

I believe if I remove the pi Unicode character it works. JSON attached.

Code is here at this URL:

https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/src/main/python/x3djsonld.py

This is an encoding issue AFAIK.  Probably we've handled it before.

See below:

Tried under PowerShell for Microsoft people. I don't see why there's so
much repetition in errors.
