STINNER Victor added the comment: "sys.getfilesystemencoding() says for Unix: On Unix, the encoding is the user’s preference according to the result of nl_langinfo(CODESET), or 'utf-8' if nl_langinfo(CODESET) failed."
Oh, this documentation is wrong since at least Python 3.2: if nl_langinfo(CODESET) fails, Python exits immediatly with a (fatal) error. There is no (more?) such fallback to "utf-8". ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19847> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
