A follow-up on this: I just made the change upstream to turn these warnings off by default, and add a "PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=warn" runtime flag to let folks opt in to the warnings as a tool for debugging potential locale coercion and locale compatibility problems. We were simply getting far too many false positives where code that was previously working fine (because it was genuinely only needing to handle 7-bit ASCII inputs and outputs) was failing solely due to the new warnings, not because anything was actually broken. There are also some significant improvements to the test suite to make sure that it's properly covering the expected behaviour when there *aren't* any coercion target locales available. While that's not applicable to Fedora directly, it *will* apply to any future Python 3.6 SCL, as well as to any python36 packages put together for EPEL.
