I think the real bug here is having no validation for the encoding given with the '-e' option. You should be allowed to use 'utf8', 'utf-8', 'utf_8' or any recognized alias. This is now fixed upstream and will be included in the next release (0.14.1 or 0.15).
commit e33f568d883d16254855d47fdb24baf1147f0f0d Author: Osmo Salomaa <[email protected]> Date: Mon Apr 13 16:10:32 2009 +0300 Add validation for encoding argument '-e'. If an encoding argument was given on the command line using the '-e' option and its value was not 'auto', translate the value using encodings.aliases. If the given encoding is not valid and not a known alias, exit with an error message. I'll put the lacking exception messages on the todo-list. There's a whole lot more of them than just these in gaupol/encodings.py. -- Osmo Salomaa <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
