If you go in this direction, I would like to follow you for the UNIX/BSD side to make the switch portable. I was thinking about "-X utf8" which avoids to change the command line parser. If we agree on a plan, I would like to write it down as a PEP since I expect a lot of complains and questions which I would prefer to only answer once (see for example the length of your thread on python-ideas where each people repeated the same things multiple times ;-)) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27781> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
