I've noticed that the socket-based logging handlers - SocketHandler, DatagramHandler and SysLogHandler - aren't Unicode-aware and can break in the presence of Unicode messages. I'd like to fix this by giving these handlers an optional (encoding=None) parameter in their __init__, and then using this to encode on output. If no encoding is specified, is it best to use locale.getpreferredencoding(), sys.getdefaultencoding(), sys.getfilesystemencoding(), 'utf-8' or something else? On my system: >>> sys.getdefaultencoding() 'ascii' >>> sys.getfilesystemencoding() 'mbcs' >>> locale.getpreferredencoding() 'cp1252' which suggests to me that the locale.getpreferredencoding() should be the default. However, as I'm not a Unicode maven, any suggestions would be welcome.
