Last 2 or 3 years, I don't recall having be bitten by such issue. On the bug tracker, new issues are opened infrequently. * http://bugs.python.org/issue19977 opened at 2013-12-13, closed at 2014-04-27 * http://bugs.python.org/issue19846 opened at 2013-11-30, closed as NOTABUG at 2015-05-17 22, but got new comments after it was closed * http://bugs.python.org/issue19847 opened at 2013-11-30, closed as NOTABUG at 2013-12-13 * http://bugs.python.org/issue28180 opened at 2016-09-16, still open Again, I don't think that this list is complete, I recall other similar issues. > I realise there is some attractiveness in solving the issue "for Python", > since that will reduce the amount of bug reports > and get people off the chests of the maintainers, but to get this fixed in > the wider Linux ecosystem it might be preferable to > "Let them eat mojibake", to paraphrase what Marie-Antoinette never said. What do you mean by "eating mojibake"? Users complain because their application is stopped by a Python exception. Currently, most Python 3 applications doesn't produce or display mojibake, since Python is strict on outputs. (One exception: stdout with the POSIX locale since Python 3.5).
