New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>: The locale encoding is not portable, packaging should use UTF-8 instead.
Attached patch is a draft to workaround "LANG=C ./python -m test test_packaging" failures. I'm not sure that my test in Metadata.write_file() of packaging.metadata is a good idea. Moreover, packaging should also maybe use the surrogateescape error handler, but I propose to decide that later and in another issue. We may use this error handler only to read files (like the Python makefile). For write a complete patch, *all* calls to open() in Lib/packaging/* (including Lib/packaging/tests/*) should be checked. distutils uses the locale encoding, which is UTF-8 on Mac OS X and most Linux setup (but never on Windows). But distutils cannot be fixed, whereas packaging is a new module and can be fixed. ---------- files: packaging_utf8.patch keywords: patch messages: 136280 nosy: haypo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: The new packaging module should not use the locale encoding versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22028/packaging_utf8.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12112> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
