[issue9660] PEP 383: socket module doesn't handle undecodable protocol or service names

[David Watson]

David Watson <baikie at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Come to think of it, I'm not sure if the patch is correct for
Windows, as PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault() appears to do strict MBCS
decoding by default (similarly with PyUnicode_FSConverter() for
encoding).  Can Windows return service names that won't decode
with MBCS?  Or does it use a different encoding?  I don't have a
system to experiment with.
