Message 284873 - Python tracker

The point is this ticket claims to be using the surrogateescape error handler for sys.stdout and sys.stdin for the C locale. I have never used surrogateescape explicitly before and thus have no experience for it and consulting the documentation mentions throwing an exception only for the strict error handler. I don't see anything that would make me think that surrogateescape would throw here an exception too. But maybe I'm just missing something.
