This PEP can reduce them soon. Is this just an assumption, based on those times being visible to someone who installs a lot of packages, or has the use of any locale other than UTF-8 and ASCII really gone down a lot? Have browsers stopped using charset sniffing? > Additionally, encoding="locale" will be backward/forward compatible What would be the problem with changing the default from None to locale? (I think you mentioned that they are the same 99% of the time; is that other 1% likely to be cases where locale is wrong but None is right? Would there be a better way to represent that 1%?) -jJ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/NGAF753ALAPMUKNJWFBYLDOTYTUJH6ZG/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
