Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: I think it's absolutely necessary that text files, by default, are opened in the encoding of the user's locale, whether the script has called setlocale or not.
There are reasons for C to not automatically call setlocale at startup (mostly backwards compatibility), but they don't apply to Python. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11022> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
