STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:
There are multiple "locale encodings": * "current" locale encoding: locale.nl_langinfo(locale.CODESET) * "Python" locale encoding: locale.getpreferredencoding(False), ignore the locale in UTF-8 Mode (always return "UTF-8"), ignore the locale on Android and VxWorks (always return "UTF-8") * Python "filesystem" encoding: similar to the Python locale encoding, but always use UTF-8 on Android, macOS and VxWorks Include/pyport.h: --- #if defined(__ANDROID__) || defined(__VXWORKS__) // Use UTF-8 as the locale encoding, ignore the LC_CTYPE locale. // See _Py_GetLocaleEncoding(), PyUnicode_DecodeLocale() // and PyUnicode_EncodeLocale(). # define _Py_FORCE_UTF8_LOCALE #endif #if defined(_Py_FORCE_UTF8_LOCALE) || defined(__APPLE__) // Use UTF-8 as the filesystem encoding. // See PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize(), PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault(), // Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale(). # define _Py_FORCE_UTF8_FS_ENCODING #endif --- See bpo-43552 "Add locale.get_locale_encoding() and locale.get_current_locale_encoding()" (rejected). Marc-Andre Lemburg dislikes locale.getpreferredencoding(False) API and suggested adding a new function locale.getencoding() with no argument: https://bugs.python.org/issue46659#msg412667 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue47000> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
