ugh, yeah. as much as i hate to suggest it given my preference for keeping any encoding out of automatic environment and argument parsing, just make os.environ keys be latin-1 encoding or make them a hashable subclass of bytes (yuck or yuck). someone on windows should check to see if it allows evil such as utf16 environment variable names first (i'd hope not, that'd break traditional C/C++ code). _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
