It is impossible guarantee that Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is normalized, since its value can be set using nl_langinfo(CODESET) during the bootstrapping process. PyUnicode_Decode() and other decoding/encoding functions use the codec module, which is not available during the early bootstrapping process, to normalize the encoding name. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1272> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
