It's possible to distribute Python packages with non-ASCII filenames. > So yes, I have Latin-1 bytes on the filesystem, > even though my locale is UTF-8. You system is not configured correctly. If you would like to distribute such invalid filename, how do you plan to access it on other platforms where the filename is decoded differently? It would be safer to build your project on a well configured system. See issues mentionned in msg173766 to support: creating a ZIP archive with invalid filenames, and be able to specify the encoding of filenames when decoding a ZIP archive. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16310> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
