New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu>:
When testing and on Windows, iomenu.encoding and .errors are set to utf-8 and surrogateescape*. When running otherwise, these are set with baroque code I don't understand. (Currently lines 31 to 61.) 1. Combine the two conditional statements for testing and Windows. 2. Ned, on my Catalina Macbook, the 30-line 'else' sections sets encoding, errors to 'utf-8', 'strict'. Should there ever be any other result on Mac we care about? If not, I would like to directly set them, as on Windows. 3. Serhiy, does the 'baroque code' look right to you, for Linux (or *nix in general)? ---------- assignee: terry.reedy components: IDLE messages: 372527 nosy: ned.deily, serhiy.storchaka, taleinat, terry.reedy priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: IDLE: revise setting of iomenu.encoding and .errors type: behavior versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41152> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
