And what if we skillfully conserve unknown bytes in a private use or surrogate area and the application author actually knows the encoding and wants correctly decoded strings? They can easily roundtrip that then to the encoding that it should have: _goodstring = sys.argv[badstringindex]._ encode(sys.argvencoding, "pua-replace").decode(realencoding)

That doesn't count as "easily" in my book. What about a sys._argv_orig containing bytes objects?

The best way to get information on Usenet is not to ask a question, but to post the wrong information.
