Yes, this is intended. ASCII is used as fallback in case Python cannot determine the I/O encoding to use during startup. This is also the reason why later changes to the environment have no affect on this - the determination of the encoding has already been applied. You can force UTF-8 by enabling the UTF-8 mode: export PYTHONUTF8=1 This will then have Python use UTF-8 regardless of the LANG env var setting. ---------- nosy: +lemburg _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45232> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
