Hi,

Seven months after my first commit related to this issue, the full test suite of Python 3.2 pass with ASCII, ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 locale encodings in a non- ascii source directory. It means that Python 3.2 now process correctly filenames in all modules, build scripts and other utilities, with any locale encoding.

Congratulations Victor, From what I saw it looked like it was a lot of work.

I don't suppose you could take a look at this issue also?

(If not, maybe someone else can.)

When pydoc uses imp to search for modules it runs across a test file with a bad BOM. Which then causes a segfault.

ra at Gutsy:~/svn/py3k$ ./python Python 3.2a3+ (py3k:85719, Oct 18 2010, 22:32:47) [GCC 4.4.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

help('modules ""')

Here is a list of matching modules. Enter any module name to get more help.

Segmentation fault

Or more directly...

import imp imp.find_module('test/badsyntax_pep3120') Segmentation fault

I believe it should issue a SyntaxError instead.

Thanks, Ron Adam
