Nick Coghlan added the comment: Revisiting the idea Nikolaus raised last year regarding whether or not this could be done using a dedicated API in the sys module, I realised today that even if we decided to use a separate public API, *that API* would still need a defined way to modify the stream encoding and error handling in place.
Since we're going to need the object level in-place modification API regardless, a separate sys module API for modifying the standard streams in particular would then introduce additional complexity without providing a proportional benefit. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15216> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
