New submission from STINNER Victor <vstin...@redhat.com>:

bpo-36301 created a very strict separated between Python initialization and a 
new "pre-initialization" which is responsible to configure encodings and memory 
allocators.

Nick Coghlan proposed to disable UTF-8 Mode and C locale coercion by default in 
the pre-initialization, so the LC_CTYPE locale is not coerced by Python when 
it's embedded in an application.

Maybe the UTF-8 Mode can be automatically enabled (depending on the LC_CTYPE 
locale), but not the C locale coercion?

This issue is related to bpo-36202: Calling Py_DecodeLocale() before 
_PyPreConfig_Write() can produce mojibake.
