I think this should be opt-in, not opt-out. Imagine you're an existing application and you want to embed Python. Why would you ever want it to suddenly change your global settings like this? As a general rule, an embedded Python runtime should deal with all the settings it's been provided and not forcibly change *any* of them (though maybe the embedding application will discover bugs and have to update their entire application to deal with it - or switch to a language that isn't so demanding!). For this specific case, it seems just as easy to opt-in by calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") before initializing Python. We can recommend this in docs and do it ourselves in Py_Main, but I don't see why we'd add a specific option for configuring the user's C runtime. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36945> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
