The locale_alias database was extended to support "en_AG" and many others, but I'd still prefer Serhiy's suggestion to not guess the codeset when checking the default LC_CTYPE category. Use locale.nl_langinfo(locale.CODESET), if it's available. In Windows, I'd prefer to never guess since the encoding for a BCP-47 locale name can be directly queried. But this issue can be restricted to POSIX. What to do in Windows is already being considered in more recent issues: bpo-23425, bpo-37945, and bpo-43115. ---------- components: -Windows versions: +Python 3.10, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 -Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue20088> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
