Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: To add a little bit more analysis: posix.device_encoding requires that the LC_CTYPE is set. Setting it just in this function would not be possible, as setlocale is not thread-safe.
So for 3.1, it seems that Python must set LC_CTYPE. If somebody can propose a patch that avoids that for 3.2, I'd be certainly in favor. ---------- assignee: loewis -> _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6203> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
