On POSIX, an unicode string is always converted at the end for the system call (using sys.getfilesystemencoding()).

It would probably also worthwhile adding the encoding parameter to os.environ.get(). There are many indirect calls to os.getenv() (eg. by using os.environ.get()): - curses uses TERM - webbrowser uses PROGRAMFILES (path) - distutils.msvc9compiler uses VS%0.f0COMNTOOLS % version (path) - wsgiref.util uses HTTP_HOST, SERVER_NAME, SCRIPT_NAME, ...

How would you specify the correct encoding in indirect calls? In all of the above cases, the application (in this case the various modules) knows which encoding to expect and can add the right encoding parameter to the os.getenv() call. E.g. the cgi module can use the content-type passed in as environment parameter to determine the encoding, most other modules will just use ASCII or the file system encoding if they are dealing with paths or file names. If your application gets variables in *mixed* encoding, I think that your program should start by reencoding variables: for name, encoding in (('PATH', 'latin1'), ...): value = os.getenv(name) value = value.encode(sys.getfileystemencoding(), 'surrogateescape') value = value.decode(encoding, 'surrogateescape') os.setenv(name, value) Which is a cludge as I mentioned in my previous comment: value = os.getenv(name, encoding=encoding) my_environ[name] = value reads much better. Also note that os.setenv() won't work since that'll use the file system encoding for encoding the value back into the C process environment array. You'd end up with mojibake in your C environment array.

Are you suggesting that Python3 should support a encoding different for environment variables and the file system? How would the user configure it? About filenames, Python3 choose the encoding using the locale, but the user cannot change it: sys.setfilesystemencoding() is removed by the site module. Also note that mbcs on Windows is a meta-encoding. The implementation of that encoding depends on the locale used by the Windows user. It's just a coincidence that this may actually work for the environment variables on Windows as well, but there's no guarantee. os.getenv() should raise a TypeError on Windows if key is a byte string. os.getenv() didn't support byte string. I patched it to support byte string (issue #8391, r80421). But I don't like my fix because we should reject support byte string *on Windows*. I would like to factorize the type check for all operations on the file system and environment variables in fsencode()/fsdecode(). On Unix, you often have the case that the environment variables use mixed encodings, e.g. the CGI interface is a good example where this happens per definition. The CGI environment can includes file system paths, data encoded in Latin-1 (or some other encoding), etc. Since Python3 choosed to store environment variables as unicode string on Windows and POSIX, in this specific case you should reconvert the value to byte strings using fsencode() and then manipulate byte strings. Because Python3 uses surrogateescape, you will get the original byte string values. My patch should help both cases: people using unicode objects and people using the native OS type (bytes on POSIX). As written in my previous message, you can still use byte strings if you want.
