As far as I know, the single biggest problem caused by the status quo for console encoding is "some string containing characters not in the console codepage is printed out; unhandled UnicodeEncodeError". Is there any particular reason not to use errors='replace'? Is there any particular reason for the REPL, when printing the repr of a returned object, not to replace characters not in the stdout encoding with backslash sequences? Does Python provide any mechanism to access the built-in "best fit" mappings for windows codepages (which mostly consist of removing accents from latin letters)? _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
