There is no such function for CRT locales. I provided two alternatives that would allow implementing this consistent with POSIX, and thus avoid all of the "except on Windows..." disclaimers that have to explain (apologize) that only the process ANSI code page is used in Windows, and, for no good reason as far as I can tell, the LC_CTYPE locale encoding is completely ignored. --- [1] https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/init_config.html#c.PyPreConfig.configure_locale ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43552> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
