[issue24968] Python 3 raises Unicode errors with the xxx.UTF-8 locale

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I believe there is at least one open issue about Python adopting utf8 as the default instead of ASCII, and in any case, several conversations about how to deal with all this better.  This is just one example of a class of issues caused by the ASCII/C posix default locale, in different contexts.
