open() will use at default the encoding of nl_langinfo() as sys.getfilesystemencoding() does on *nix. This is the part that looks dirty to me. As soon as LANG is set to C open() will rely on 'ascii' due to nl_langinfo() like sys.getfilesystemencoding() does too. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19846> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
