A lot of them can't handle UTF-8 with a BOM, either. > That alone might be a reason for strongly encouraging ASCII-compat > encodings. A "python" or "python3" or "env" executable in any particular location such as /usr/bin isn't technically guaranteed, either, it's just relied on as a "works 99% of the time" thing. There's a reasonable case to be made that transforming files in such a way as they get launched by python (which may require an encoding change to an ASCII-compatible encoding, or a wrapper script, or the python -x hack) is the responsibility of platform-specific installer code. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
