I just wrote a simple function to enumerate the 822 system locales on my Windows box (using EnumSystemLocalesEx and GetLocaleInfoEx, which are Unicode-only functions), and 36.7% of them lack an ANSI codepage. They're Unicode-only locales. UTF-8 is the only way to support these locales with a bytes API. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
