The final goal (the third motivation of the pep 597) is changing the default encoding (i.e. encoding used when it is not specified) to UTF-8. But forcing people to use UTF-8 even they specify locale encoding explicitly is not the goal. That's why I want to ignore UTF-8 mode when `encoding="locale"` is specified. I think this is almost Windows-only issue, and "mbcs" can be used in Windows already. It is documented in https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#utf-8-mode So this is not a blocker. Just my preference. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43510> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
