> BTW: What is wxWidgets doing with the returned values ? wxWidgets doesn't call getlocale, it's a C++ library (wrapped by wxPython) that uses C setlocale. What does use getlocale is time.strptime and datetime.datetime.strptime, so when getlocale fails, strptime fails. > We could enhance this to return None for the encoding instead > of raising an exception, but would this really help ? Very much so. Frankly, I don't get the impression that the current locale preferred encoding is used for *anything*. Other than possibly having a role in implementing getpreferredencoding. > Alternatively, we could add "en_DE" to the alias table and set > a default encoding to use. Where would you get a complete list of all the new aliases that would need be to be added? As the "en_DE" example shows, you'd need all combinations of languages and regions. That's going to be a very long list. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43115> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
