Perhaps. We could also declare that command line arguments and environment variables are always UTF-8-encoded on OSX (which I think would be fairly accurate), and stop relying on the locale to determine encodings on OSX (which Apple didn't like as a mechanism, anyway). I think OSX converges faster to UTF-8 than the other Unices. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9992> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
