I was one of the people who mistakenly thought that Python 3 operating in the new Windows Terminal was going to magically leave us sitting happily in completely UTF-8 compatible territory on Windows, not realizing the complex long-term dependencies and regressions that still remain problematic. I had spent a lot of time paying attention to the Python 2 vs. 3 debates with people shouting "I don't care about Unicode!" and mistook dedication to preventing regressions and breakages for a lesser appreciation of the value of UTF-8 support. I have been schooled. We all want the same thing, but getting there on Windows from where we are at the moment remains non-trivial. Heartfelt appreciation to all on the front lines of dealing with this complex and sticky situation. ❤️❤️❤️ Also, much love to those who had put in the work to have much more help than I realized existed even when one finds oneself isolated on a single disconnected machine with only the standard docs as a guide🧭 -- I didn't realize the pages I found mojibake on even existed until this weekend. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44275> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
