Why is it being specified that the current LC_CTYPE encoding should be ignored in Windows when a "locale" encoding is requested? Cross-platform C code would use mbstowcs() and wcstombs(), with the current LC_CTYPE encoding. That's Latin-1 in the initial "C" locale and defaults to GetACP() if setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") is called, but otherwise it's whatever locale is requested by the program and supported by the system (all Windows installations support pretty much every 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
