-1. This will make things harder for simple scripts which are not intended to be cross-platform.
+1 to all you said. I frequently use the python command prompt or "python -c" for various quick tasks (mostly on linux). I would hate to replace my ugly, but working
open('example.txt').read()
with the unnecessarily verbose
open('example.txt',encoding='utf-8').read()
When using python that way as a "swiss army knife", typing does matter. My preferred solution would be:
- emit a warning if the encoding argument is not set
By the way, I just thought that for real programming, I would love to have a -Wcrossplatform command switch, which would warn for all unportable constructs in one go. That way, I don't have to remember which parts of 'os' wrap posix-only functionnality. Baptiste
