Adam Simpkins <a...@adamsimpkins.net> added the comment: OpenSSL doesn't appear to do any special handling for i18n, and just treats the strings as binary data. It uses fgets() to read the password from the terminal, so it will receive it however the terminal encodes it.
It's not clear to me that PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault() is quite the right thing to do. The initfsencoding() routine seems different from how initstdio() works (which checks the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable, and then appears to fall back to os.device_encoding()). I'm leaning towards just updating the docs to specify that if a string is supplied it will be encoded using UTF-8. I'm happy to do either way you recommend, though. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12803> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
