Congratulation INADA-san! I'm impressed by your tenacity :-) Last months, I followed your different propositions on discuss.python.org to use UTF-8 by default in Python. It's good to see the first non-controversial part being accepted! I hope that this PEP will help to move towards a world where we don't guess encodings anymore, but make them very explicit!
Once the whole stdlib and most of top PyPI projects will be fixed to no longer emit EncodingWarning, I will become safer to opt-in for UTF-8 by default by enabling the Python UTF-8 Mode! https://docs.python.org/dev/library/os.html#python-utf-8-mode One day, we will silently switch Python to UTF-8 by default, and nobody will notice! ;-) Victor On Mon, Mar 15, 2021 at 7:46 PM Thomas Wouters <tho...@python.org> wrote: > > Hi Inada, > > Thank you for submitting PEP 597 (Add optional EncodingWarning).
