Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.4 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Works For Me Priority: 5 Submitted By: Felix Wiemann (fwiemann) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) 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= ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-05-25 18:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 You must first set your current locale to the system default locale; on start, Python's locale defaults to C. After 'locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "")' the nl_langinfo call should yield "UTF-8". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1495089&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
