Content
If a program name contains a non-ascii character in its name and/or full path and PYTHONFSENCODING is set to an encoding different than the locale encoding, Python fails to open the program. Example in the utf-8 locale: $ PYTHONFSENCODING=ascii ./python é.py UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe9' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) This issue is similar to #9992 and #10014. Solutions: remove PYTHONFSENCODING environment variable or redecode the filename from the locale encoding to the filesystem encoding. Attached patch implements the latter. -- We may also redecode Py_GetProgramName().
