Thanks again for the engagement. I am also in favor of adding the encoding to the constructor. However, following Giampaolo's comment, that utf-8 is standard and has been for a long time (and the RFC dating back to year 1999), I am also in favor of changing the default encoding in the same PR. As mentioned in the previous comments, most users use ASCII and will not be affected by this anyway - which is probably also why this issue hasn't been raised before. Please let me know your thoughts on this. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39380> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
