Do you know something better than the locale encoding? I don't. > Can’t each filesystem have its own encoding? Yes, but how do you get the encoding of each filesystem? I think that few or no application support such case without mojibake. Backup programs can use the "raw" (bytes) API of Python 3 to avoid all encoding issues. -- As wrote R. David Murray, read issue #9992 if you would like to know more about this problem and the different proposed solutions. I voted for removal of PYTHONFSENCODING which fix most issues. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10039> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
