I don't have a native Windows python 3 installation and the python 
distributed with LyX on Windows doesn't include PyWin extension modules. 
Thus I cannot test that code. However, I don't think that 
win32file.ReadFile() returns utf8. Most probably it returns some 8-bit 
encoding corresponding to the current code page. But, even using 
win32file.ReadFileW() (assuming it exists) that would return utf16.
