New submission from Yves Müller:
I am trying to read json containing a UTF-8 string from a file. It works when
running it from a shell with LANG=en_GB.utf8 set, but fails from the empty
environment.
> python3 --version
Python 3.4.0
> cat test.json
{ "test": "Ümläute" }
> env -u LANG python3 -c 'import json; json.load(open("test.json"))'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/json/__init__.py", line 265, in load
return loads(fp.read(),
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode
return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 11:
ordinal not in range(128)
> > env LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 python3 -c 'import json;
> > print(json.load(open("test.json")))'
{'test': 'Ümläute'}
