New submission from Olivier Delhomme <olivier.delho...@cea.fr>:
$ python3 --version
Python 3.6.4
Setting LANG to en_US.UTF8 works like a charm
$ export LANG=en_US.UTF8
$ python3
Python 3.6.4 (default, Jan 11 2018, 16:45:55)
[GCC 4.8.5] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> machaine='ééééhelp me if you can'
>>>
>>>
>>> print('{}'.format(machaine))
>>>
>>>
ééééhelp me if you can
Unsetting LANG shell variable fails the program:
$ unset LANG
$ python3

File "<stdin>", line 0

SyntaxError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 10: ordinal not

Setting LANG inside the program does not change this behavior:
$ unset LANG
$ python3
Python 3.6.4 (default, Jan 11 2018, 16:45:55)
[GCC 4.8.5] on linux

>>> import os
>>> os.environ['LANG'] = 'en_US.UTF8'
>>> machaine='ééééhelp me if you can'
File "<stdin>", line 0
^
SyntaxError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 10: ordinal not
in range(128)
Is this an expected behavior ? How can I force an utf8 codec ?
