STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:
Serhiy: "getdefaultlocale() falls back to LANG and LANGUAGE. It allows also to specify a list of looked up environment variables. How could this use case be covered with getlocale()?" What's your use case to use env vars rather than the current LC_CTYPE locale? My concern is that when setlocale() is called, the current LC_CTYPE locale is inconsistent and you can get mojibake and others issues. See for example: https://bugs.python.org/issue43552#msg389069 Marc-Andre Lemburg wants to deprecate it: https://bugs.python.org/issue43552#msg389076 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46659> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
