Please see https://bugs.python.org/issue47000#msg415769 for what Victor suggested. In particular, the locale module uses the "no underscore" convention. Not sure whether it's good to start using snake case now, but I'm also not against it. I would like to reiterate my concern with the "locale" encoding, though. As mentioned earlier, I believe it adds too much magic. It would be better to leave this in the hands of the applications and not try to guess the correct encoding. It's better to expose easy to use APIs to access the various different settings and point users to those rather than try to do a best effort guess... explicit is better than implicit. After all, Mojibake potentially corrupts important data, without the alerting the user and that's not really what we should be after (e.g. UTF-8 is valid Latin-1 in most cases and this is a real problem we often run into in Germany with our Umlauts). ---------- _______________________________________ 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
