STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: I blocked the fix in Python 3.1 because it's non trivial and I prefer to avoid complex changes in Python 3.1. But then I realized that Python 3.1 has two bugs about environment variables.
It uses sys.getfilesystemencoding()+surrogateecape to decode variables and sys.getdefaultencoding()+strict to encode variables: the encoding is different! It counts the number of *characters* to allocate the *byte* string buffer and so non-ASCII values are truncated. So I decided to backport the fix: r80494. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8391> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
