See above. I propose to stop using the locale encoding for command line arguments and environment variables on OSX, and use UTF-8 instead. > and > Windows hardwires the decoding/encoding of bytes filenames using mbcs > regardless of the current codepage, IIRC. I wish byte-oriented file names could be dropped on Windows. But that is probably too incompatible. > So do you just mean the filesystem encoding should be hidden from the > user? What would be the benefit? That the very issue that this bug report (re-read the title) is about would go away. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9992> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
