Yes, on Linux, it "just works":
haypo@selma$ LC_ALL=en_US python2 -c 'import io; io.open("/dev/null")'
haypo@selma$ LC_ALL=en_USxxx python2 -c 'import io; io.open("/dev/null")'
In fact, you get ASCII encoding for these two locales:
haypo@selma$ LC_ALL=en_US python2 -c 'import locale;
print(locale.getpreferredencoding(False))'
ANSI_X3.4-1968
haypo@selma$ LC_ALL=en_USxxx python2 -c 'import locale;
print(locale.getpreferredencoding(False))'
ANSI_X3.4-1968
Internally, io.open() uses locale.getpreferredencoding(False) if you don't
specify an encoding.
