[New-bugs-announce] [issue41401] Using non-ascii that require UTF-8 breaks AIX testing

[Michael Felt]

New submission from Michael Felt <aixtools at felt.demon.nl>:

issue41069 introduces tests for paths/files containing non-ascii characters.

On AIX - since the merge of PR21035 and PR21156 - the bots have been broken, i.e., returning test failed.

++++++++

Sadly, I cannot determine - exactly - where it is going wrong as the verbose results ends (says SUCCESS, but there is an ENV change, so bot says FAILED) as:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ran 614 tests in 59.122s

OK (skipped=8)
Warning -- files was modified by test_io
  Before: []
  After:  ['@test_23134518_tmpæ']
test_io failed (env changed) in 59.7 sec

== Tests result: SUCCESS ==

1 test altered the execution environment:
    test_io

Total duration: 59.8 sec
