UnicodeEncodeError when writing to temporary file on Windows with Python 3.10 or 3.11 about demogpt

Ok I made it work with this changes.

if "import sys" not in code:
        code = "import sys\nsys.stdout.reconfigure(encoding='utf-8')\n" + code

        tmp = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(
            "w", suffix=".py", delete=False, encoding="utf-8"
        )```
.Thanks will check!!

It didn't work, unfortunately. I'll try the PR when I have some free time (I have kids, so it can get a little hectic, hehe). Although it will be my first PR, so it's going to be a learning experience!

I cloned again and tried the example but it keeps erroring. return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0]. I checked committed changes and it should work with the new changes, but dont know why it's still there.
