[issue12281] bytes.decode('mbcs', 'ignore') does replace undecodable bytes on Windows Vista or later

[STINNER Victor]

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

Example with ANSI=cp932 (on Windows Seven):
 - b'abc\xffdef'.decode('mbcs', 'replace') gives 'abc\uf8f3def'
 - b'abc\xffdef'.decode('mbcs', 'ignore') gives 'abcdef'
