I fixed my locale back before my OS fully supported doing so. It was painful, but it was *so* worth it. There were many tools that just worked better after I did that, and several tools that I had to convince to use utf-8 through non-standard means. So I think Python is doing the right thing by using the locale (the Standard Way), and that getting the OS vendors and/or the users to fix their locale settings is indeed the right place to fix this. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13643> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
