Message 207210 - Python tracker
Larry: I'm assuming it's way too late to make a change like this for the 3.4 release? Slavek: assuming this change is made for 3.5 upstream, we may want to look at backporting it as a 3.4 patch in Fedora (as part of the Python-3-by-default project). Otherwise it's very easy to provoke Python 3 into throwing Unicode errors when attempting to print data provided by the OS.
