object was not shown.

In review it was noted that the open docs are a little confusing about
the interaction between closefd and paths, so tweaked them at the same
time.

Brett Cannon f9f0458961 merge emphasized discouragement of overriding __import__ 2013-08-23 11:00:04 -04:00
Brett Cannon f5ebd26403 Emphasize that people should not override __import__.
With importlib getting used more and more, changing __import__ will
not work as well as people used to hope as it will potentially bypass
importers, etc. It also will not work with importlib.import_module()
as it uses "importlib.__import__" (i.e. importlib's implementation of
import) directly and not builtins.__import__.

Victor Stinner f86a5e8a93 Close #11022: TextIOWrapper doesn't call locale.setlocale() anymore
open() and io.TextIOWrapper are now calling locale.getpreferredencoding(False)
instead of locale.getpreferredencoding() in text mode if the encoding is not
specified. Don't change temporary the locale encoding using locale.setlocale(),
use the current locale encoding instead of the user preferred encoding.

Explain also in open() documentation that locale.getpreferredencoding(False) is
called if the encoding is not specified.
