[issue11022] locale.setlocale() doesn't change I/O codec, os.environ does

Steffen Daode Nurpmeso added the comment: Most of this is much too loud for a newbie who is about to read PEP 7 anyway. And if this community has chosen to try (?!?) not to break compatibility with code which does not have a notion of a locale setting (i.e. naively uses other code in that sp

Steffen Daode Nurpmeso added the comment: Also in respect to Issue 6203 i could talk about a project which did not link against anything in the end, only ld(1) and syscalls and the undocumented third 'char **envp' arg to UNIX main()s. Thus: all of you should be *very* happy about the warm and

STINNER Victor added the comment: > This bug may be based on same problem as Issue 6203. Nope, both issues are different. Here you want that TextIOWrapper reads your current locale, and not your environment variables. Issue #6203 asks why LC_CTYPE is not C by default, but the user locale LC_C
