Hi,
I modified Python 3.5 to use the "surrogateescape" error handler (PEP
383) for stdin and stdout when the LC_CTYPE locale is POSIX ("C"
locale):
http://bugs.python.org/issue19977
New behaviour:
---
$ mkdir z
$ touch z/abcé
$ LC_CTYPE=C ./python -c 'import os; print(os.listdir("z")[0])'
abcé
---
Old behaviour, before the change (test with Python 3.3):
---
$ LC_CTYPE=C python3 -c 'import os; print(os.listdir("z")[0])'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position
3-4: ordinal not in range(128)
---
The POSIX locale is common because it is used by default when no other
locale is set. It's common that programs started by a crontab on UNIX
and daemons are using this locale.
