$ LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" python2.7 -c 'open("/dev/tty", "w")'

Jython:

$ LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" jython2.7 -c 'open("/dev/tty", "a")'
Traceback (most recent call last):

Arfrever: Does this still fail for you?

Yes.

Hi Arfrever, you had been sending great patches for issues like these, then I got all legal on you and I think you stopped at that point. I hope that isn't what stopped you, but just in case: I think one of the issues is that the PSF contributor agreement was cumbersome to send. The PSF has finally launched electronic signatures which I hope will help. The form is here: http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/contrib-form/

Not seeing any problems now with the supplied tests. Since these tests are not exactly comprehensive, I'm going to mark this pending in case Arfrever has something more to exercise.

I can still reproduce this bug.

Reopening per Arfrever's request on #jython

Apparently this is an issue only on some *nix systems; specifically I can reproduce on Ubuntu 13.10 with Jython trunk, but it works just fine on OS X 10.9

This should have been fixed with https://hg.python.org/jython/rev/31b98240dcf1
