FWIW, I recently encountered a scenario (albeit in a test situation) where the ability to set different encodings for stdout and stderr would have been useful to me. It was while creating a test case for issue 15595. I was changing the locale encoding for stdout, but I also wanted to leave it unchanged for stderr because there didn't seem to be a way to control the encoding that the child used for stderr. ---------- nosy: +cjerdonek _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6135> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
