Larry Hastings added the comment: This is a legitimate problem and I'd definitely like it fixed. However, the angle brackets and the quote marks are ugly: decode(obj, encoding='sys.getdefaultencoding()', errors='strict') Attached is a tweaked version of the patch that sidesteps the

Yury Selivanov added the comment: Larry, Serhiy, After giving this some thought I think that my initial patch is a wrong approach here -- inspect module should not be touched to fix this issue. With this patch applied, signature object for codecs.encode would have a Parameter with a bogus

Larry Hastings added the comment: Can we do better? How about a new field on the Parameter object, symbolic_default_value, which shows you the expression used to compute the value? We could then set default_value to the result of the expression, pydoc could print the symbolic expression,

Larry Hastings added the comment: I just tried every module, simulating pydoc on it. codecs is the only one that failed. So, I can live with just changing codecs for now. But let's do it properly in 3.6. Go ahead and check in for 3.5--or, if you don't get it done before I want to tag the

2015-08-08 Thread Serhiy Storchaka
Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: sys.getdefaultencoding() always returns utf-8 in 3.x (it left for compatibility with 2.x). I suggested to set defaults to literal utf-8. This matches documentation and signatures of str.encode() and bytes.decode(). --

Larry Hastings added the comment: That's a fine change for 3.5. For 3.6 I want to solve the general problem, at which point we can switch back to calling sys.getdefaultencoding() if we like. Serhiy, can you make a patch a post it here? I want to tag 3.5.0rc1 in one or two hours. --
