Use case of #8611: install Python in a directory with a name not encodable to the filesystem encoding and try run Python. Install or use a Python installed in an external media like an USB key (encoding problem is not a rare problem with USB keys). On Windows, it's quite easy to find a character not encodable to the filesystem encoding (mbcs). Eg. Ł for codepage 1252. On Linux, any non-ASCII can be used if you run Python with C locale (locale encoding: ascii). #4352 and #8988 (Windows issues, so mbcs encoding) are directly related to #8611. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9560> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
