Nick Coghlan added the comment: There's a wrong assumption here: glib applications on Linux use UTF-8 regardless of locale. That's the part I have a problem with: the assumption that the locale will correctly specify the encoding to use for OS APIs on modern Linux systems.
It's simply not always true: some Linux distros would be better handled like OS X, where we always use UTF-8, regardless of what the locale says. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19846> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
