Subject: (backport)Fix #10154 and #10090: locale normalizes the UTF-8 encoding to "UTF-8"... 
X-Git-Tag: v2.7.2rc1~32^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=372954e059956aab354d9abfa7fcdcaca40a6079;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

(backport)Fix #10154 and #10090: locale normalizes the UTF-8 encoding to "UTF-8" instead of "UTF8"

On MacOSX and OpenBSD (and possibly other BSDs) "en_US.UTF-8" is a valid locale
while "en_US.UTF8" is not. As the former works on Linux as well it is better
to normalize to that value.
