Resolves #978
When calling 'open' without specifying the encoding Python will use
locale.getencoding()
for Python 3.11+ andlocale.getpreferredencoding(False)
(with or without theFalse
) for Python 3.8 to determine which encoding to open the file with.RMS sets this to ANSI_X3.4-1968 (a weird way of saying ascii). This can cause opening the file to fail when non-ascii characters are present within it.
