Please read the second version (latest) version of my PEP 540 which contains a new "Use Cases" section which helps to define issues and the behaviour of the different modes. > I haven't read the PEPs (don't have time, mea culpa), but my ideal > would be three options: > > --transparent -> errors=surrogateescape on input and output > --postel -> errors=surrogateescape on input, =strict on output > --unicode-me-harder -> errors=strict on input and output PEP 540: --postel is the default --transparent is the UTF-8 mode --unicode-me-harder is the UTF-8 configured to strict The POSIX locale enables --transparent. > with --postel being default.

The PEP adds new -X utf8 command line option and PYTHONUTF8 environment variable to configure the UTF-8 mode. > Others probably should configure open() by open(). My PEP 540 does change the encoding used by open() by default: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0540/#encoding-and-error-handler Obviously, you can still explicitly set the encoding when calling open(). > I'll try to get to the PEPs over the weekend but can't promise. Please read at least the abstract of my PEP 540 ;-) Victor _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
