New submission from Armin Ronacher <armin.ronac...@active-4.com>: Right now Python happily falls back to ASCII if it can not parse your LC_CTYPE or something similar happens. Instead of falling back to ASCII it would be better if it falls back to UTF-8.
Alternatively it should at least give a warning that it's falling back to ASCII. This issue was discussed at PyCon and the consensus so far was that falling back to UTF-8 in 3.3 might be a good idea and should not break much code as UTF-8 is a superset of ASCII. ---------- components: Unicode messages: 131144 nosy: aronacher priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Unicode Fallback Encoding on Python 3.3 versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11574> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
