[Python-Dev] pth file encoding

2021年3月15日 19:49:03 -0700

Hi, all.
I found .pth file is decoded by the default (i.e. locale-specific) encoding.
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/0269ce87c9347542c54a653dd78b9f60bb9fa822/Lib/site.py#L173 
pth files contain:
* import statements
* paths
For import statement, UTF-8 is the default Python code encoding.
For paths, fsencoding is the right encoding. It is UTF-8 on Windows
(excpet PYTHONLEGACYWINDOWSFSENCODING is set), and locale-specific
encoding in Linux.
What encoding should we use?
* UTF-8
* sys.getfilesystemencoding()
* Keep status-quo.
Regards,
