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-encoding != locale. This is especially the case if working on a filesystem from an external media like an external hard disk drive. Operating on multiple media can also result in different filesystem-encodings. It would be useful if the user can make his own checks and change the default filesystem-encoding if needed. ---------- components: IO messages: 204853 nosy: Sworddragon priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Setting the default filesystem-encoding type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19847> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
