    bpo-29240: PEP 540: Add a new UTF-8 Mode (#855) · 91106cd9
    Victor Stinner yazdı
    * Add -X utf8 command line option, PYTHONUTF8 environment variable
      and a new sys.flags.utf8_mode flag.
    * If the LC_CTYPE locale is "C" at startup: enable automatically the
      UTF-8 mode.
    * Add _winapi.GetACP(). encodings._alias_mbcs() now calls
      _winapi.GetACP() to get the ANSI code page
    * locale.getpreferredencoding() now returns 'UTF-8' in the UTF-8
      mode. As a side effect, open() now uses the UTF-8 encoding by
      default in this mode.
    * Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now use the UTF-8 encoding
      in the UTF-8 Mode.
    * Update subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle -X utf8
    * Skip some tests relying on the current locale if the UTF-8 mode is
      enabled.
    * Add test_utf8mode.py.
    * _Py_DecodeUTF8_surrogateescape() gets a new optional parameter to
      return also the length (number of wide characters).
    * pymain_get_global_config() and pymain_set_global_config() now
      always copy flag values, rather than only copying if the new value
      is greater than the old value.
