[issue28180] sys.getfilesystemencoding() should default to utf-8

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Anything purely on the Python side of things doesn't work in a traditional C environment - CPython relies on the C lib to do conversions during startup, so we need the C locale to be set correctly. We can do things differently on Mac OS X and iOS because Apple ensure that *C* behaves differently on Mac OS X and iOS (and apparently Google do something similar for Android, so I'll update the PEP to mention that as well).
