* bpo-34589: Make _PyCoreConfig.coerce_c_locale private (GH-9371)
_PyCoreConfig:
* Rename coerce_c_locale to _coerce_c_locale
* Rename coerce_c_locale_warn to _coerce_c_locale_warn
These fields are now private (name prefixed by "_").
(cherry picked from commit 188ebfa475)
* bpo-34589: C locale coercion off by default (GH-9073)
Py_Initialize() and Py_Main() cannot enable the C locale coercion
(PEP 538) anymore: it is always disabled. It can now only be enabled
by the Python program ("python3).
test_embed: get_filesystem_encoding() doesn't have to set PYTHONUTF8
nor PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE, these variables are already set in the
parent.
(cherry picked from commit 7a0791b699)
* bpo-34589: Add -X coerce_c_locale command line option (GH-9378)
Add a new -X coerce_c_locale command line option to control C locale
coercion (PEP 538).
(cherry picked from commit dbdee0073c)
* bpo-34485: stdout uses surrogateescape on POSIX locale (GH-8986)
Standard streams like sys.stdout now use the "surrogateescape" error
handler, instead of "strict", on the POSIX locale (when the C locale is not
coerced and the UTF-8 Mode is disabled).
Add tests on sys.stdout.errors with LC_ALL=POSIX.
Fix the error handler of standard streams like sys.stdout:
PYTHONIOENCODING=":" is now ignored instead of setting the error handler to
"strict".
(cherry picked from commit 315877dc36)
* The UTF-8 Mode is now also enabled by the "POSIX" locale, not only
by the "C" locale.
* On FreeBSD, Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now also forces
the ASCII encoding if the LC_CTYPE locale is "POSIX", not only if
the LC_CTYPE locale is "C".
* test_utf8_mode.test_cmd_line() checks also that the command line
arguments are decoded from UTF-8 when the the UTF-8 Mode is enabled
with POSIX locale or C locale.
(cherry picked from commit 5cb258950c)
In Py_Main(), don't call pymain_set_global_config() early: only call
it when the whole configuration has been read.
Add an unit test to prevent future regression.
bpo-29240, bpo-32030: If the encoding change (C locale coerced or
UTF-8 Mode changed), Py_Main() now reads again the configuration with
the new encoding.
Changes:
* Add _Py_UnixMain() called by main().
* Rename pymain_free_pymain() to pymain_clear_pymain(), it can now be
called multipled times.
* Rename pymain_parse_cmdline_envvars() to pymain_read_conf().
* Py_Main() now clears orig_argc and orig_argv at exit.
* Remove argv_copy2, Py_Main() doesn't modify argv anymore. There is
no need anymore to get two copies of the wchar_t** argv.
* _PyCoreConfig: add coerce_c_locale and coerce_c_locale_warn.
* Py_UTF8Mode is now initialized to -1.
* Locale coercion (PEP 538) now respects -I and -E options.
* Add -X utf8 command line option, PYTHONUTF8 environment variable
and a new sys.flags.utf8_mode flag.
* If the LC_CTYPE locale is "C" at startup: enable automatically the
UTF-8 mode.
* Add _winapi.GetACP(). encodings._alias_mbcs() now calls
_winapi.GetACP() to get the ANSI code page
* locale.getpreferredencoding() now returns 'UTF-8' in the UTF-8
mode. As a side effect, open() now uses the UTF-8 encoding by
default in this mode.
* Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now use the UTF-8 encoding
in the UTF-8 Mode.
* Update subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle -X utf8
* Skip some tests relying on the current locale if the UTF-8 mode is
enabled.
* Add test_utf8mode.py.
* _Py_DecodeUTF8_surrogateescape() gets a new optional parameter to
return also the length (number of wide characters).
* pymain_get_global_config() and pymain_set_global_config() now
always copy flag values, rather than only copying if the new value
is greater than the old value.
