[issue12112] The new packaging module should not use the locale encoding

[STINNER Victor]

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

See also issue #9561 (distutils: set encoding to utf-8 for input and output files) and #6011 (python doesn't build if prefix contains non-ascii characters).

If you are curious, read also #8611 (Python3 doesn't support locale different than utf8 and an non-ASCII path (POSIX)) and #9425 (Rewrite import machinery to work with unicode paths).
