Hi all, I am desperately searching for the encoding of sys.argv.
I use a Linux box, with French UTF-8 locales and an UTF-8 filesystem. sys.getdefaultencoding() is "ascii" and sys.getfilesystemencoding() is "utf-8". However, sys.argv is neither in ASCII (since I can pass French accentuated character), nor in UTF-8. It seems to be encoded in "latin-1", but why ?
