Éric Araujo added the comment: Patch looks good, apart from a missing “the”, but I think it should be expanded: Right now it tells that surrogateescape is used, but IMO it would be more useful if it also mentioned practical implications, i.e. what Michael “The Beard” Foord says in the first message. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue13561 _______________________________________

I think this was added in another section of this doc. See the second paragraph in https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#file-names-command-line-arguments-...

Right, this section now explains encodings and the error handler. Moreover, I recently reworked the documentation of the filesystem encoding and error handler: * https://docs.python.org/dev/glossary.html#term-filesystem-encoding-and-error... * https://docs.python.org/dev/library/os.html#python-utf-8-mode * https://docs.python.org/dev/library/sys.html#sys.getfilesystemencoding * etc. I consider that it's now enough, I close the issue ;-) If someone wants to enhance the doc, please submit a PR. This issue is now quite old :-) ---------- resolution: -> fixed stage: needs patch -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker https://bugs.python.org/issue13561 _______________________________________
