> Respecting -E and -I isn't a problem per se - the problem is moving the _Py_CoerceLegacyLocale call to a point that's incredibly late in the startup process *just* to get it to respect those flags.

Would you mind to elaborate how it is an issue? The LC_CTYPE is coerced *before* the configuration is read a second time. If there is an issue, would you mind to show an example where something is decoded from the wrong encoding?
