STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: Here is a patch for the first solution: display a fatal error if we are unable to get the locale encoding. It does always exit with a fatal error if nl_langinfo(CODESET) is not available (and Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is not set).
I don't think it's a good idea to display an fatal error at runtime. If nl_langinfo(CODESET) is not available, configure should fail or we should fallback to an hardcoded encoding (ok but which one?). Extract of the nl_langinfo() manual page (on Linux): CONFORMING TO SUSv2, POSIX.1-2001. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17213/no_fsencoding_error.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8610> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
