Oh, it's a difference between Python 2.7 and Python 3. Python 3 calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") at startup, so locale.getpreferredencoding(False) can be used in Python 3. Python 2.7 requires to call locale.getpreferredencoding() to get the encoding of the *user* locale. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30338> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
