(original) (raw)

FWIW, the ansi and mbcs encodings on Windows do exactly this (as does the oem encoding with a minor twist). Feel free to reuse either alias if it makes sense, or make sure a new one also works on Windows.

Hi,

Python 3.7.0a4 includes the implementation of the PEP 538 (C locale

coercion) and PEP 540 (UTF-8 Mode). Please test this Python with

various locales, especially with the POSIX ("C") locale!

Note: The UTF-8 Mode has a known issue with the readline module, I see

how to fix it (add new encode/decode functions which ignore the UTF-8

mode and really use the current locale encoding), but I didn't have

time to fix it yet:

https://bugs.python.org/issue29240#msg308217

(I skipped the test to repair the CI, until I can fix the bug.)
