Yes, Python3 decodes environment variables using sys.getfilesystemencoding()+surrogateescape. And since my last fix on os.execve(), subprocess (and os.execv(p)e) uses also surrogateescape to encode environment variables. And yes again, I also patched os.getenv() to decode bytes name to unicode using sys.getfilesystemencoding()+surrogateescape. > But other than just calling these os.encode and os.decode *fs*encode() and *fs*decode() is a reference to the encoding: sys.get*filesystem*encoding(). > I just wanted to point the other use out See also issue #8513. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8514> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
