STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: The file system encoding should not be modifiable. Call sys.setfilesystemencoding() breaks Python, eg. module filenames are not reencoded. See also #8611.
sys.setfilesystemencoding() is as danregeous as sys.setdefaultencoding() because it changes too much things in Python. If you would like to decode a filename with an encoding different than sys.setfilesystemencoding(): use the bytes type. Eg. os.listdir(b'.') gives you bytes filenames. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8740> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
