Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: I think the patch is incorrect. It shouldn't do any encoding conversion, but perform the expanding completely in Unicode strings.
For 2.x, I recommend to close this as "won't fix". Expanding a Unicode strings is just not supported. If it was supported, it should be supported correctly, i.e. allowing both environment variable names and environment variable values to have non-ASCII characters in them, and, on Windows, even non-MBCS characters. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6815> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
