Summary: sys.getfilesystemencoding

Initial Comment:
There seems to be a mistake in the documentation of
sys.getfilesystemdocumentation in module-sys.html:

"On Unix, the encoding is the user's preference
according to the result of nl_langinfo(CODESET), or
None if the nl_langinfo(CODESET) failed."

This does not seem to be the case on my system:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.getfilesystemencoding()
'UTF-8'
>>> import locale
>>> locale.nl_langinfo(locale.CODESET)
'ANSI_X3.4-1968'

FYI my locale environment:

$ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=POSIX
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=
