g_get_filename_charsets() returns a list of encodings. For the last case (else:), it uses ['utf-8', local_encoding] on UNIX. It's reliable because the utf-8 encoding has a nice feature, the utf-8 decoder fails if the byte string is not a valid utf-8 string. It would interesting to test this approach (try utf-8 or use the locale encoding) in PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault/PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault and _Py_char2wchar/_Py_wchar2char. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19846> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
