Steffen, your normalization function looks similar to encodings.normalize_encoding, with just a few differences (it uses spaces instead of dashes, it divides alpha chars from digits). If it doesn't slow down the normal cases (i.e. 'utf-8', 'utf8', 'latin-1', etc.), a more flexible normalization done earlier might be a valid alternative. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11303> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
