[issue4213] Lower case file system encoding

New submission from Christian Heimes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Python should lower case the file system encoding in Python/pythonrun.c. On several occasions Python optimizes code paths for lower case encodings like "utf-8" or "latin-1". On my Ubuntu system the file system encoding is upper case ("UTF-

[issue4213] Lower case file system encoding

STINNER Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Converting to the lower case doesn't solve the problem: if the locale is "utf8" and Python checks for "utf-8", the optimization will fail. Another example: iso-8859-1, latin-1 or latin1? A correct patch would be to get the most common name
