INADA Naoki added the comment: Why I want to add configure option to ignore locale is:
1. C.UTF-8 is not supported by RHEL7 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1361965) RHEL7 will be used for a long time. And many people uses new Python instead of distro's Python, via pyenv or pythonz. I feel deprecating C locale from Python 3.7 is bit aggressive. 2. Many admins like C locale. locale setting will cause unintended side effects. So many admins dislike xx_XX.UTF-8 locale. For example (from https://fumiyas.github.io/2016/12/25/dislike.sh-advent-calendar.html ): $ mkdir tmp $ cd tmp $ touch a b c x y z A B C X Y Z $ LC_ALL=C /bin/bash --noprofile --norc -c 'echo [A-Z]' A B C X Y Z $ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 /bin/bash --noprofile --norc -c 'echo [A-Z]' A b B c C x X y Y z Z 3. Many other languages can use UTF-8 even when C locale node.js, Ruby, Rust, Go can use UTF-8 on Linux People don't want to learn how to configure locale properly only for Python. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
