> Now, the correct way in all this would be to just call setlocale(LC_ALL, '') at the start of the application
Python now does that during its initialization on all platforms. So getpreferredencoding(False) is what its documentation says: the user preferred encoding, the LC_CTYPE locale encoding.
On Python 3.7, _Py_SetLocaleFromEnv(LC_CTYPE) was called in _Py_InitializeCore() on Unix, but not on Windows.
Since Python 3.8, _PyPreConfig_Write() calls _Py_SetLocaleFromEnv(LC_CTYPE) on all platforms including Windows. See bpo-34485 and my article for more details ("C locale on Windows" section):
https://vstinner.github.io/python3-locales-encodings.html
_Py_SetLocaleFromEnv(LC_CTYPE) calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""), but has more complex code on Android. |
