[Python-Dev] Issue #11022: locale.getpreferredencoding() must not set temporary LC_CTYPE (original) (raw)

Can I change this behaviour (before the first beta) in Python 3.3?

Fine with me. That code predates 43e32b2b4004. I don't recall discussion to set the LC_CTYPE locale and not take it back, but apparently, this is what Python currently does, which means that another setlocale call is not necessary.

So in theory, your change should have no effect, unless somebody has modified some environment variables.
