Or Latin-9 (ISO 8859-15) That was popular on Linux systems for a while before everyone switched to UTF-8 - it's got the Euro sign, and (relevant to French) the "oe" ligature, and uppercase Y with diaeresis, at the expense of "generic currency" and fractions. Or it could be Latin-3, Latin-5 (8859-9), or Latin-8 (8859-14) - they are not commonly used for French locales, being primarily intended for other languages, but they do support all characters (at least all from Latin-1) used in French names. I assume there are likewise several Windows codepages it could be. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
