New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>: I introduced initfsencoding() in #8610 to ensure that Py_FileSystemEncoding is not more NULL. In the discussion, Marc Lemburg noticed that falling back the UTF-8 on nl_langinfo(CODESET) error is a bad idea: ASCII is better (I agree).
We cannot fall back to ASCII yet because there are two other problems that have to be fixed before that: - Python3 doesn't support surrogates in module filenames: see #8611 - If Py_FileSystemEncoding is NULL, encoding functions fallback to utf-8 (PyUnicode_GetDefaultEncoding()). #8715 proposes a new PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault() function to fix this problem Attached patch is a partial fix for this issue. ---------- components: Interpreter Core, Unicode files: fsencoding_ascii.patch keywords: patch messages: 105804 nosy: haypo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Python3: use ASCII for the file system encoding on initfsencoding() failure versions: Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17353/fsencoding_ascii.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8725> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
