Hi, While working on test_utf8_mode on AIX (bpo-34347) and HP-UX (bpo-34403), I noticed that FreeBSD doesn't work properly with the POSIX locale (bpo-34527). I also noticed that my implementation of my PEP 540 "UTF-8 Mode" doesn't respect the PEP: the UTF-8 Mode should be enabled by the POSIX locale, not only by the C locale.
I just modified Python 3.7 and master (future 3.8) to enable UTF-8 Mode if the LC_CTYPE locale is "POSIX": https://bugs.python.org/issue34527 I also fixed FreeBSD to support the "POSIX" locale as well (3.6, 3.7 and master branches). Note: The C locale coercion (PEP 538) is only enabled if the LC_CTYPE locale is "C". To finish my list of recent Unicode issues, I'm also working on bpo-34523: select the Python filesystem encoding before Py_Initialize(). This change will allow embedders to force an encoding instead of letting Python choose one for them.
