Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: If we just restrict this to the file system encoding (and not the whole LANG setting), how about:
* default the file system encoding to 'utf-8' and use the surrogate escape handler as default error handler * add a PYTHONFSENCODING env var to set the file system encoding to something else (*) (*) I believe we discussed this at some point already, but don't remember the outcome. Regarding the questions of defaulting to LANG=C.UTF-8: I think this needs some more thought, since it would also affect many C locale aware functions. To make this work, Python would have to call setlocale() early on in the startup phase to adjust the C lib accordingly. ---------- nosy: +lemburg _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28180> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
