I think it is better if the build system sets LANG=C.UTF-8, not the
python specific macros.
Yeah, setting it through python macros would mean that e.g. any
python program invoked during the build would see the obsolete non-utf8
encoding. Seems better to just set LANG=C.UTF-8 globally.
Who could make that happen? Should I propose this at devel@?

Hi Pythonistas.
Regarding our Python 3 C.UTF-8 locale coercing [1], aka PEP 538 [2].
As you probably know, we build RPM packages with the C locale. So everytime
we use python3 in the spec file, the coercing message is shown. This can be
more problematic than just spamming the build logs, see for example the
related rpmlint bug [3][4].
Our macros, such as %{python3_sitelib}, %{python3_version} etc. all call
python3 and generate the warning. Should we "fix" our macros to set the LANG
to C.UTF-8?
If we change the %{__python3} macro entirely, we might get rid of all of
those warnings and we will workaround the fact that we build RPM packages
with the C locale. On the other hand the packager would not be able to set a
desired locale because it will always be overwritten:
# The crazy test suite needs Czech locale
LANG=cs_CZ.utf8 %{__python3} -m pytest
Will become:
LANG=cs_CZ.utf8 LANG=C.utf8 /usr/bin/python3 -m pytest
So I would not do that.
But we can change all other macros in /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.python3
to set the UTF-8 locale. Would that be wise? Desired?
Any thoughts?
