Hmm, I was afraid to break applications using existing Python in the system. But if no one cares about it, I'm ok with just adding something like "enable-utf8-mode.bat" / "disable-utf8-mode.bat". > > > > I don't want to recommend env vars and registry for conda and portable > > Python users... > > I'm not sure what you mean here.

I saw many people broke their environment by setting PYTHONPATH. I don't recommend to use it at all. On the other hand, I want to make teachers can recommend to enable UTF-8 mode for students. That is the defference between PYTHONUTF8 and PYTHONPATH. -- Inada Naoki <songofaca...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/LH3UANAQ4CC62TJBU3AWONGQRRGW3JR2/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
