R. David Murray added the comment: Hmm. Upon reflection I guess I can see the validity of "if you are using the C locale you or the OS are broken anyway, so we'll just pass the bytes through". I'm not entirely convinced this won't cause issues, but I suppose it might not cause any more issues that having things break due to the C locale does.
It is, however, going to return us to the days when a program that works fine most of the time suddenly blows up in the face of non-ascii data, and that's my biggest concern. I'd certainly be fine with it if it wasn't the default (that is, programs who need this have to opt in to it). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23993> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
