STINNER Victor added the comment: There is a bug, but I'm not conviced that multibyte encodings are used as locale encoding.
About your patch: you should test the 3 types of newlines, so use a string like: '1\r\n2\r3\n4'. + # Popen() defaults to locale.getpreferredencoding(False). + locale.getpreferredencoding = lambda do_setlocale: 'utf-16' FYI it's not directly Popen() which uses the locale encoding, but TextIOWrapper. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15595> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
