[issue19847] Setting the default filesystem-encoding

STINNER Victor added the comment: Follow-up: the PEP 538 (bpo-28180) and PEP 540 (bpo-29240) have been accepted and implemented in Python 3.7. Python 3.7 will now use UTF-8 by default for the POSIX locale, and the encoding can be forced to UTF-8 using -X utf8 option. -- _

Sworddragon added the comment: > This idea was already proposed in issue #8622, but it was a big fail. Not completely: If your locale is utf-8 and you want to operate on an utf-8 filesystem all is fine. But what if you want then to operate on a ntfs (non-utf-8) partition? As I know there is no

New submission from Sworddragon: sys.getfilesystemencoding() says for Unix: On Unix, the encoding is the user’s preference according to the result of nl_langinfo(CODESET), or 'utf-8' if nl_langinfo(CODESET) failed. In my opinion relying on the locale environment is risky since filesystem-enco
