Force ASCII is safer. Python should announce that it does not "understand" non-ASCII bytes on the command line. I also chose this option because isalpha(0xe9) returns 0 (even if mbstowcs(0xe9) returns L"\xe9"): FreeBSD doesn't consider U+00E9 as a letter in the C locale, so Python should also consider this byte as raw data. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16455> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
