[issue850997] mbcs encoding ignores errors

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

New version of the patch:
 - decode_mbcs() calls raise_translate_exception() to set the error (in the previous patch, I'm not sure that the error was set)
 - include #8784 patch (tarfile uses utf-8 as the default encoding)
 - ctypes: use mbcs is strict mode instead of ignore mode. This is just a workaround, the real fix is to remove the implicit conversion between bytes and characters: see #8966

The patch requires #8969 patch (use mbcs in strict mode to encode/decode filenames).
