[issue19846] Python 3 raises Unicode errors with the C locale

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

I confess I didn't independently verify the glib claim in the Stack
Overflow post.

However, Toshio's post covers the specific error case we were discussing at
Flock (and I had misremembered), where the standard streams are classed as
"OS APIs" for the purpose of deciding which encoding to use, but as user
data APIs for the purpose of deciding which error handler to use. So the
standard streams are only "sort of" an OS API, since they don't participate
in the surrogateescape based round tripping guarantee by default.
