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.)

Python 3.7.0a4 is the last of four planned alpha releases of Python 3.7, the next feature release of Python. During the alpha phase, Python 3.7 remains under heavy development: additional features will be added and existing features may be modified or deleted. Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is not recommended for production environments. The next preview release, 3.7.0b1, is planned for 2018-01-29.
