Nick Coghlan added the comment: There's an alternative to trying to force a different encoding for the standard streams when the OS claims ASCII as the OS encoding: we can default to surrogateescape as the error handler, on the assumption that whatever the *real* OS encoding is, it definitely isn't ASCII.
That means we'll still complain about displaying improperly encoded data when the OS suggests a plausible encoding, but we won't fail entirely just because someone enabled (deliberately or accidentally) the POSIX locale. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
