New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com>:
There are several problems with _msi.FCICreate() used to create the CAB file. It encodes the CAB names and added file names to UTF-8 and then use them as encoded with the local encoding. So you cannot create a CAB file in a directory with non-ASCII name or add files from a directory with non-ASCII name. This is a Python 3 regression. Two possible solutions: 1. Encode paths with the locale encoding. It will add support for paths encodable with the locale encoding. 2. Encode them to UTF-8, but use a wrapper for opening file which converts the path from UTF-8 to UTF-16 and uses the Unicode variant of _open(). It will support arbitrary names. ---------- components: Windows messages: 372466 nosy: paul.moore, serhiy.storchaka, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: msilib.CAB doesnot support non-ASCII files type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41142> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
