New error popping up:

--- Logging error ---
Traceback (most recent call last):

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

Hm, this sounds like https://github.com/simon-weber/gmusicapi/issues/632#issuecomment-489285698 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/
