Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Unicode Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Bjorn Stabell (bjoerns) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Including python-codecs codecs in standard distribution? Initial Comment: Are there any plans to include the python-codecs in the standard distribution? They are Chinese and Japanese encodings, very useful if you live in China or Japan, which quite a few people do :) -- Imagine having to download ASCII encoding separately. What's stopping the inclusion, if anything? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2007-03-15 22:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Originator: NO CJK codecs was introduced in Python 2.4 IIRC. I assume that satisfies this request. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2003-03-29 09:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 We should continue to discuss this. There are good technical and political reasons for re-evaluating whether to include Asian codecs in a batteries included Python distribution. I suggest python-dev and/or i18n-sig @python.org. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2003-03-29 07:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 The size of the code, and its correctness is stopping inclusion of these codecs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=706970&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
