Message9292

The title of the issue is currently misleading, given that per Python 2.7 docs (https://docs.python.org/2/library/sys.html#sys.getfilesystemencoding):

> getfilesystemencoding()
> Return the name of the encoding used to convert Unicode filenames into system file names, or None if the system default encoding is used.

This is different than the file.encoding system property. Although I was unable to find an authoritative source on this as a standard property, conventionally this sets http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/charset/Charset.html#defaultCharset(); see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/361975/setting-the-default-java-character-encoding
