I googled "netrc UnicodeDecodeError". It is very rare, but I found two cases. * https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54748450/macos-python-3-netrc-operations-end-up-with-unicodedecodeerror This user uses macOS and Python tried UTF-8. But .netrc was not UTF-8. * https://qiita.com/yuji38kwmt/items/5472c98cb800ccaab093 This user uses Windows. They write .netrc with UTF-8, but Python used cp932. --- There are several options: * Use UTF-8. If user encountered UnicodeDecodeError, user need to change the .netrc encoding. * Use UTF-8 with "surrogateescape" or "replace" error handler. non-UTF-8 in comments are ignored. * Use latin-1. non-ASCII characters in comments are ignored. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43733> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
