Martin v. Löwis added the comment: >From what I read, it appears that the SO posting is plain wrong. Consider, for >example,
https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Character-Set-Conversion.html#g-filename-to-utf8 # Converts a string which is in the encoding used by GLib for filenames # into a UTF-8 string. Note that on Windows GLib uses UTF-8 for filenames; # on other platforms, this function indirectly depends on the current locale. The SO author might have misread the part where it says that glib uses UTF-8 *on Windows* (instead of the braindead "ANSI" encoding indirection). ---------- _______________________________________ 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
