It's probably linked to recent changes from issue #19255.

Unfortunately I can't reproduce this failure. We should look at how often this happens on buildbots. It is possible that adding flush=True in print() will solve the issue.

I tried. It does not fix the issue.

Hint: On Windows, sys.stdout.encoding is a codec implemented in pure Python (ex: cp850). You should try to reproduce the issue on Linux using PYTHONIOENCODING=cp850.

Note: It looks like open() is no more available when C.__del__() is called.

Ah, thank you for your hint Victor. This patch should fix the issue.

Sorry, issue20599_ascii_ioencoding.patch doesn't fix the issue. (I also tested issue20599_ascii_ioencoding.patch + flush=True for print, it still fails sometimes.)

What if use "-u" flag? "utf-8" or "utf_8" encoding?

Issue #20599: Force ASCII encoding for stdout in test_cleanup() of test_builtin

> Sorry, issue20599_ascii_ioencoding.patch doesn't fix the issue.

Sorry again, I didn't read issue20599_ascii_ioencoding.patch carefully: it doesn't make sense to use the isolated mode and to set a Python environment variable (PYTHONIOENCODING). The purpose of the isolated mode is to ignore all Python environment variables...

I (hope I) fixed the test, but in fact, the test showed another bug: print() cannot be used during Python exit in destructor. It means for example that Python may not be able to display errors at exit.

I don't know if this issue should be closed. Maybe a new issue should be opened to address the codec issue at exit?

Now test fails with mystical error.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

May be setting PYTHONHASHSEED will silence this error. But I afraid there is a real bug in initialization on Windows.

> I (hope I) fixed the test, but in fact, the test showed another bug: print() cannot be used during Python exit in destructor. It means for example that Python may not be able to display errors at exit.

print() can be used during Python exit in destructor if destructor called before cleaning up the builtins and sys modules and encoding module with the encoding of sys.stdout.

Cleaning up the builtins and sys modules are delayed after wiping other modules, this decreases the chance of print() failure.

This is probably is missing LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

Oh, it remembers me that Windows requires some environment variables to start, otherwise it fails badly.

I modified the test to *not* start with an empty environment, it's not the purpose of the test.

Ok, I filled issue #20614 to track these bugs with __cleanenv=True.

Serhiy>print() can be used during Python exit in destructor if destructor called before cleaning up the builtins and sys modules and encoding module with the encoding of sys.stdout.
Serhiy>Cleaning up the builtins and sys modules are delayed after wiping other modules, this decreases the chance of print() failure.

Ah ok. I tested with a codec implemented in Python, it works well. So it is very specific to test_cleanup() which hack builtins and sys modules to keep a reference their.

I don't see anything else to do, I close the issue.
