The entire change affecting the PEP 538 implementation in https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/9454060e84a669dde63824d9e2fcaf295e34f687#diff-8c018c3ada66d06c8e101e47a313c2c7 needs to be reverted: the locale should be coerced before *ANY* calls are made to Py_DecodeLocale, as the whole point of the architecture of the PEP implementation was to ensure that *nothing ever gets decoded incorrectly in the first place*.
I just initially missed that in Victor's enthusiasm for fixing the incorrect decodings that can arise in the absence of locale coercion he'd *introduced* incorrect decoding into the locale coercion case. |
