STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:
In Python 3.8, if the LC_CTYPE is "POSIX", the default stdio error handler is now "surrogateescape" instead of "strict", and the UTF-8 is now enabled. In short, LC_CTYPE="POSIX" now behaves as LC_CTYPE="C". This change impacts at least FreeBSD. If I correctly, if there is no LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or LANG environment variable on FreeBSD, the LC_CTYPE locale is "POSIX". See bpo-34485, bpo-19977 and the "POSIX locale on FreeBSD" section of my article: https://vstinner.github.io/python3-locales-encodings.html ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32238> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
