STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: I worked again on the patch. I opened new issues to prepare the new mbcs codec: - #8966: ctypes: remove implicit conversion between unicode and bytes - #8967: Create PyErr_GetWindowsMessage() function - #8969: Windows: use (mbcs in) strict mode to encode/decode filenames, and enable os.fsencode()
#8967 can be used to get the translated message of a mbcs encode error. PyErr_GetWindowsMessage() returns a PyUnicodeObject, whereas make_translate_exception() and PyUnicodeTranslateError_SetReason() expect a "char*". Another patch is requied: translate_reason_unicode.patch (attached to this issue, not tested). But I don't think that the message is very important for now :-) #8784 (tarfile/Windows: Don't use mbcs as the default encoding) is still open. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17618/translate_reason_unicode.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue850997> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
