I think you misunderstand the notion of the *file system encoding*. It is *not* a "file encoding", but the file *system* encoding, i.e. the encoding for file *names*, not for file *content*. It was used on Windows for Windows 95; it is not used anymore on Windows (although it's still used on Unix). I think there are way too many specific cases where Python 3 will encode implicitly to get a complete list from the memory. If you really are after a complete list, you'll need to perform a thorough code review. For a few examples where some kind of default encoding is applied, consider XML and the dbm interfaces.
