I think it's still the case that some isolation environments (e.g. Debian chroots) default to bare C locales. Often it doesn't matter, but sometimes tests or other applications run inside those environments will fail in ways they don't in a normal execution environment. The answer is almost always to explicitly coerce those environments to C.UTF-8 for Linuxes that support that. -Barry _______________________________________________ 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
