[issue9377] socket, PEP 383: Mishandling of non-ASCII bytes in host/domain names

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

As a further note: I think socket.gethostname() is a special case, since this is just about a local setting (i.e. not related to DNS). We should then assume that it is encoded in the locale encoding (in particular, that it is encoded in mbcs on Windows).
