STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: For non-ascii directory name but ascii locale (eg. C locale), we have 3 choices: a- read Makefile as a binary file b- use the PEP 383 c- refuse to compile
(a) doesn't seem easy because it looks like distutils use the unicode type for all paths. (b) supposes to patch distutils to ensure that reading (and writing?) Makefile uses errors='surrogateescape'. About (c), it can be a temporary solution. But I also think that non-ascii directory name and ascii locale encoding is a rare use case. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6011> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
