STINNER Victor <vstin...@redhat.com> added the comment:

IMHO MANIFEST should always be encoded to UTF-8 on all platforms. It means 
always *decode* it from UTF-8.

For backward compatibility, we might first try to decode it from UTF-8, but 
falls back on the locale encoding if the UTF-8 decoder raises a 
UnicodeDecodeError.
