Because `encoding="locale"` must be replacement of the current `encoding=None` (i.e. locale.getpreferredencoding(False). `encoding=None` behavior will be changed if we change the default encoding or enable UTF-8 mode by default. So we are adding an explicit name to current behavior. So It is not an option to assign other encoding. ​See PEP 597 for detail. I know you are proposing to use CRT locale on Windows. If we change the `locale.getpreferredencoding(False)` to use CRT locale, `encoding="locale"` follow it. But please discuss it in another issue. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
