None of these variables are set (with `docker run -it fedora:25 /bin/bash`). -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue28180> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

This doesn't help me, as I already set LANG to C.utf-8. I'm rather thing about new people trying out Python in Docker who don't know about this. Furthermore I think that UTF-8 is the future and the use of ASCII should be discouraged. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue28180> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Jan Niklas Hasse added the comment: https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Proposals/C.UTF-8#Defaults mentions that C.UTF-8 should be glibc's default.

[issue28180] sys.getfilesystemencoding() should default to utf-8
New submission from Jan Niklas Hasse: Working with Docker I often end up with an environment where the locale isn't correctly set. In these cases it would be great if sys.getfilesystemencoding() could default to 'utf-8' instead of 'ascii', as it's the encoding of the future and ascii is a subset of it anyway.
