Do you mean utf8/strict or utf8/surrogateescape? utf8/strict doesn't work (os.listdir raises an unicode error) if your system is configured to use latin1 (ex: filenames are stored in this encoding), but unfortunately your program is running in an empty environment (so will use the POSIX locale). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19977> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
