Victor Stinner d929f1838a bpo-36443: Disable C locale coercion and UTF-8 Mode by default (GH-12589) bpo-36443, bpo-36202: Since Python 3.7.0, calling Py_DecodeLocale() before Py_Initialize() produces mojibake if the LC_CTYPE locale is coerced and/or if the UTF-8 Mode is enabled by the user configuration. This change fix the issue by disabling LC_CTYPE coercion and UTF-8 Mode by default. They must now be enabled explicitly (opt-in) using the new _Py_PreInitialize() API with _PyPreConfig. When embedding Python, set coerce_c_locale and utf8_mode attributes of _PyPreConfig to -1 to enable automatically these parameters depending on the LC_CTYPE locale, environment variables and command line arguments Alternative: Setting Py_UTF8Mode to 1 always explicitly enables the UTF-8 Mode. Changes: * _PyPreConfig_INIT now sets coerce_c_locale and utf8_mode to 0 by default. * _Py_InitializeFromArgs() and _Py_InitializeFromWideArgs() can now be called with config=NULL.		2019-03-27 18:28:46 +01:00
