Re: PEP 597: Add optional EncodingWarning
by Anders Munch 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

Victor Stinner [mailto:vstinner@python.org] wrote: > The warning can explicitly suggest to use encoding="utf8", it should work in almost all cases. The warning should also explain how to get backwards-compatible behaviour, i.e. suggest encoding="locale". Inada Naoki <songofacandy(a)gmail.com> wrote: > This warning is opt-in warning like BytesWarning. What use is a warning that no-one sees? When the default is switched to encoding="utf8", it will break software, and people need to be warned of that. UnicodeDecodeError's will abound when files that used to be read in a single-byte encoding fails to decode as utf-8. All it takes is a single é. If the default encoding is ever to change, there's no way around a noisy warning. How about swapping around "locale" and None? That is, make "locale" the new default that emits a warning, and encoding=None emits no warning. That has the advantage that old code can be updated to say encoding=None, and then it will work on both old and new Pythons without warning. regards, Anders

There's no need to remove anything. Code that doesn't use a default doesn't break because the default changes. regards, Anders

If you're adding encoding="latin1" to the user program, then you are doing something very different from what Victor proposed. regards, Anders

Victor Stinner [mailto:vstinner@python.org] wrote: > encoding="utf8" is backward compatible and is likely to fix encoding bugs when the locale encoding is not UTF-8 This program runs just fine on 3.8.7 Windows, against a file.txt that contains latin-1 text: with open('file.txt', 'rt') as f: print(f.read()) But if I change it to this: with open('file.txt', 'rt', encoding='utf-8') as f: print(f.read()) then it fails with UnicodeDecodeError. How it that backwards compatible? regards, Anders

Signature discrepancies between documentation and implementation
by Erlend Aasland 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

Hi all, What's the recommended approach with issues like https://bugs.python.org/issue43094? Change the docs or the implementation? I did a quick search on bpo, but could not find similar past issues. Erlend

Hello, I submitted https://bugs.python.org/issue42819 a little over a month ago with an accompanying PR: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/24108. Would it be possible to get feedback on it? This addresses a bug that occurs when Python is compiled with the most recent release of GNU Readline and affects both Linux and macOS. Thanks, Dustin

Change windows installation program name
by Barry Scott 08 Feb '21

08 Feb '21

I raise https://bugs.python.org/issue43156 that suggests that new users on windows would be less confused if the name of the installation program did not seem to imply it was the python program. In a nutshell the proposal is to change from this: python-3.10.0a5.exe python-3.10.0a5-amd64.exe to this (thanks to Matthew Barnett for the improved names: python-3.10.0a5-win32-setup.exe python-3.10.0a5-win64-setup.exe Barry
