Subject: Skip test_readline.test_nonascii() on C locale (GH-5203) (#5204)
X-Git-Tag: v3.6.5rc1~153
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c2740e8a263e76427a8102a89f4b491a3089b2a1;p=python

Skip test_readline.test_nonascii() on C locale (GH-5203) (#5204)

bpo-29240: On FreeBSD, if the LC_CTYPE locale is "C" or "POSIX",
writing and reading non-ASCII bytes into/from a TTY works,
but readline or ncurses ignores non-ASCII bytes on read.
(cherry picked from commit c495e799ed376af91ae2ddf6c4bcc592490fe294)
