[New-bugs-announce] [issue8622] Add PYTHONFSENCODING environment variable

[Marc-Andre Lemburg]

New submission from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal at egenix.com>:

As discussed on issue8610, we need a way to override the automatic detection of the file system encoding - for much the same reasons we also do for the I/O encoding: the detection mechanism isn't fail-safe.

We should add a new environment variable with the same functionality as PYTHONIOENCODING:

    PYTHONFSENCODING: Encoding[:errors] used for file system.
