Description Jan Kurik 2017-03-16 09:30:44 UTC 
This is a tracking bug for Change: Python 3 C.UTF-8 locale
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/python3_c.utf-8_locale

The standalone Python 3.6 binary will automatically attempt to coerce the C locale to C.UTF-8, unless the new PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE environment variable is set to 0.
Comment 1 Jan Kurik 2017-03-17 05:32:26 UTC 
Switching to MODIFIED as this Change is already in the Fedora 26 Alpha 1.1 compose.
Comment 2 Jan Kurik 2017-05-17 09:13:04 UTC 
On 2017-May-16 we reached the "Change Checkpoint: 100% Code Complete Deadline" milestone for Fedora 26 release. At this point all the Changes not at least in "ON_QA" state should be brought to FESCo for review. Please update the state of this bug to "ON_QA" if it is already 100% completed. Please let me know in case you have any trouble with the implementation and the Change needs any help or review.

Thanks, Jan

This Change is going to be reviewed on a FESCo meeting: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1710
Comment 4 Timothy Redaelli 2017-05-22 13:55:10 UTC 
Actually this modification breaks many packages that uses "testsuite" (autoconf stuff) and/or "autoconf" since "autoconf" / "testsuite" enforce LC_ALL=C and testsuite check stderr (by default) and so tests will fail since stderr is not empty.

An example of packages that was broken with this modification is "openvswitch"

A workaround in a spec file could be to set PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=0 in %check and/or %build
Comment 5 Charalampos Stratakis 2017-06-27 14:06:41 UTC 
The implementation has been changed. While python3 will actually change the locale, it will not print a warning to stderr.
Comment 6 Nick Coghlan 2018-03-26 15:19:48 UTC 
Just adding a link to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1404918 for traceability to the actual implementation BZ, since the F26 change proposal page links here, and PEP 528 and Victor Stinner's recent article at https://vstinner.github.io/posix-locale.html both link to the change proposal page.
