UnicodeEncodeError with logging when using Mobileclient Search

[gcfrxbots]

New error popping up:

--- Logging error ---
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\logging\__init__.py", line 985, in emit
    stream.write(msg)

    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\U0001f49b' in position 32828: character maps to <undefined>

Call Stack:

    res = self._make_call(mobileclient.Search, query, max_results)

  File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\gmusicapi\protocol\shared.py", line 247, in perform
    log.debug(cls.filter_response(parsed_response))

Happens when calling mobileclient.search("test") and the encoding used for the string doesnt seem to affect it.

Hm, this sounds like #632 (comment) again, though I had thought it was fixed. I guess this is during printing to the console rather than the file?

I don't think there's a straightforward way to override the system encoding in this case. The workarounds look pretty hacky:

• have the stream handler read from the file: http://stoken-tips-and-tricks.blogspot.com/2015/02/howto-python-setup-unicode-logging.html
• monkeypatch encode on the logger: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/95uzy2/logging_how_to_define_encoding_of/
