There are still platforms using locale encodings different than ascii, latin1 or utf8. For example, Windows never uses these encodings for ANSI or OEM code page. ANSI code page is used as the Python filesystem encoding which is used in a lot of places. OEM code page is used for the stdio streams (stdin, stdout, stderr). There are some users using locales with the latin9 encoding. I proposed to remove the new code for exception handling to simplify the code (because the error should not occur anymore). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19619> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
