Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: I'm not sure whether using os.fsencoding() is a good idea. The encoding used by uname is not defined anywhere and it's possible that Python using a wrong encoding may cause the call to fail (e.g. in case the host name includes non-ASCII chars).
Then again: _syscmd_uname() is currently only used to determine the processor, which will most likely always be ASCII. BTW: It would be good to replace all other calls to os.popen() by subprocess as well. platform.py in Python 3 no longer has the requirement to stay compatible with earlier Python 2 releases. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21772> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
