Message 199511 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

"Does anyone know if Python does still support systems where CODESET is not available? Which OS does not support CODESET?"

I checked my VMs with Python, nl_langinfo(CODESET) works on:

• Linux (Fedora 18, kernel 3.9)
• OpenBSD 5.2
• OpenIndiana 148 (SunOS 5.11)
• FreeBSD 9.1

I also tested my patch on Windows 7: _bootlocale.getpreferredencoding() works as expected (it returns "cp1252").
