Content
On Linux, I think most people wants UTF-8:surrogateescape by default, without fighting against locale and environment variables. There are already `#if defined(__APPLE__) \|\| defined(__ANDROID__)` path for it. How about adding configure option to use same logic? (say `--with-encoding=(locale\|utf-8)`, preferred encoding is changed in same way). It may help many people building Python themselves without having root privilege for generating C.UTF-8 locale.
