Marc-Andre Lemburg <m...@egenix.com> added the comment: While you're right that adjusting the FS encoding long after Python has already started is probably not such a good idea, I do think that we need to provide a way to set the FS encoding from within Python without having to rely on external settings.
Think of e.g. embedded Python interpreters or py2exe-style applications running on Linux or other systems that don't use Unicode APIs for FS-interaction or have fixed FS-encodings. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9632> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
