Message141744
Senthil: I wasn't advocating the removal of the ability to specify encoding, only stating that avoiding the use of sys.stdout.buffer.write could only sensibly be done if we also removed the ability to specify an encoding (I can see how my wording might have been confusing). Earlier (msg122219) I said that we probably can't remove the encoding option because that would break backwards compatibility.
FWIW, I think that the encoding parameter to the console program is probably sensible because there are no guarantees that the sys.getdefaultencoding() is actually set to the console encoding and I would guess that most people using the html option are not sending output to the console anyway. They are likely redirecting the output somewhere else because there is no "output this to a file" option. |
