FWIW: I don't think the "locale" encoding is a good idea. Instead of trying to fix this to make it more usable, I'd suggest to deprecate and remove it again. When it comes to encodings, explicit is better than implicit. If an application wants to work with some user defined locale settings, it's better for the application to decide where to pick the locale settings from, e.g. the OS, the UI, an application config setting, etc. There are too many ways this can be done and trying to build magic to determine the "right" one is bound to fail in one way or another. ---------- nosy: +lemburg _______________________________________ 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
