New submission from Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de>: Reportedly, platform.uname gives UnicodeError for non-ASCII computer names on Windows, see http://www.pasteall.org/16215
I think it is incorrect that _node uses socket.gethostname on Windows. uname() should return the local hostname (i.e. the one that the system itself believes to have), independent of the network configuration or DNS. Therefore, I think it should return the COMPUTERNAME environment variable, or the result of the GetComputerName() API. ---------- messages: 118615 nosy: loewis priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: platform.uname gives UnicodeError for non-ASCII computer names on Windows versions: Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10097> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
