> I dislike lying in the locale module. This change is basically useless with my PR 13230. Note that Python produce "cpNNN" encoding name, not Windows. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/137be34180a20dba53948d126b961069f299f153/Modules/_localemodule.c#L395 So I don't think it is lie. It is just "what encoding name we should choose when GetACP() returned 65001.". With your PR 13230, cp65001 is truly utf-8. So returning "utf-8" seems right behavior.
