STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: TextIOWrapper is mostly based on locale.getpreferredencoding(), so msg131290 is still valid: if no env var is set, nl_langinfo() gives 'ASCII' (or something like that). But it is not easy to detect that env vars are not set.
I would prefer a completly different approach: always use UTF-8 by default if the encoding is not set. Something like: def open(filename, ..., encoding='UTF-8', ...) TextIOWrapper.__init__(..., encoding='UTF-8', ...) So not rely on locales anymore. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11574> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
