Steve Dower added the comment: Windows doesn't use the fs encoding at all until Python code requests/provides something in bytes. Except for the caching in fsencode/fsdecode, there's no problem setting it once at the start of your program (and it can only be set once - there's no parameter and it cannot be undone).
What I'm most interested in is whether caching the encoding in fsencode/fsdecode is actually an optimization - if not, remove it, and if so make a way to reset it. I'll get around to this sooner or later but I don't want to stop someone else from doing it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29241> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
