Bug report
Linux using glibc cannot run Python when ja_JP.sjis locale is set as follows.
$ sudo dnf install glibc-locale-source # RHEL or RHEL compatible Linux distribution $ sudo localedef -f WINDOWS-31J -i ja_JP ja_JP.sjis $ export LANG=ja_JP.SJIS $ python3 Python path configuration: PYTHONHOME = (not set) PYTHONPATH = (not set) program name = 'python3' isolated = 0 environment = 1 user site = 1 import site = 1 sys._base_executable = '/usr/bin/python3' sys.base_prefix = '/usr' sys.base_exec_prefix = '/usr' sys.platlibdir = 'lib64' sys.executable = '/usr/bin/python3' sys.prefix = '/usr' sys.exec_prefix = '/usr' sys.path = [ '/usr/lib64/python39.zip', '/usr/lib64/python3.9', '/usr/lib64/python3.9/lib-dynload', ] Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding Python runtime state: core initialized LookupError: unknown encoding: WINDOWS-31J Current thread 0x00007f49d76ee740 (most recent call first): <no Python frame> The charset name "Windows-31J" is registered in the IANA Charset Registry[1].
Windows-31J is supported by perl[2], php[3], ruby[4], java[5], etc.
Python's cp932 is equivalent to Windows-31J, so I propose to add windows_31j to aliases for cp932.
