JGoutin added the comment: Personally, I call "sys._enablelegacywindowsfsencoding()" for only one reason : Temporary fixing issues with some third party libraries which use C code for files I/O (With filename as "mbcs" encoded bytes internally).
Theses libraries generally call "filename.encode(sys.getfilesystemencoding())" or "os.fsencode(filename)" before sending filenames from Python to C code. Actually, I didn't see any side effect for using this function. Maybe because I call it at start before anything else. Using the environment variable is not easy in my case. I can look if encoding caching in fsencode is efficient (On Windows). And eventually propose a code change for this. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
