Hi, Python3 refuses to start with LANG=C if it's installed in a non-ASCII directory. I wrote a patch fixing this issue, but it changes a lot of code and I would like your opinion.
The main part changes import to use surrogateescape everywhere (find_module, load_source_module, null importer, zip importer, etc.). Other files have to be adapted: - traceback.c (tb_printinternal), - ast.c (ast_error_finish), - compile.c (compiler_error), - bltinmodule.c (builtin_compile), - _warnings.c (show_warning), - tokenizer.c (fp_setreadl), - ... It fixes also calculate_path(): sys.path may also contains directories using surrogates. Should I continue to work on this, or is it a bad idea to use surrogates in filenames used in Python imports? -- Related issue: #8242. The patch attached to this issue is a work-in-progress, I plan to cleanup it and to split it in small patches. It contains extra changes to fix many modules and tests if the current directory is not decodable. -- Victor Stinner http://www.haypocalc.com/ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
