I'd like to be able to robustly deal with PKG-INFO and METADATA in pbr, and right now we depend on locale.getpreferredencoding()... if we could depend on utf8 or something that would be great. -Rob -- Robert Collins Distinguished Technologist HP Converged Cloud

It's a bug if bdist_wheel generates anything other than utf-8 METADATA. On Mon, Sep 21, 2015, 8:37 PM Robert Collins wrote:

In wheel we had to jump through some hoops to do rfc822 style documents with utf-8, a task which can also be accomplished more easily with newer versions of the standard Python 3 email library (but not the versions we had to support at the time). https://bitbucket.org/pypa/wheel/src/1cb7374c9ea4d5c82992f1d9b24cf7168ca87707/wheel/pkginfo.py?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default On Mon, Sep 21, 2015 at 9:44 PM Robert Collins wrote:
