I had forgot to consider about UTF-8 mode while finishing PEP 597. If possible, I want to ignore UTF-8 mode when `encoding="locale"` is specified from Python 3.10. Otherwise, behavior will be changed between Python 3.10 and 3.11. > Currently, getpreferredencoding(False) respects the behavior that you > described, no? getpreferredencoding(False) respects UTF-8 mode. That's what PEP 597 said (because the PEP don't define behavior in UTF-8 mode) and GH-19481 implements. But it is not what I want for now. I want to ignore UTF-8 mode when `encoding="locale"` is specified. This is almost "only in Windows" issue, and users can use `encoding="mbcs"` in Windows-only script. But `encoding="locale"` is new and recommended way to specify using "locale" encoding explicitly. When user specify "locale" encoding explicitly, I think we should respect it regardless UTF-8 mode. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
