STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: Version 2 of my patch (mbcs2.patch): - patch also the encoder: fix ignore/replace depending on the Windows version, support any error handler: encode character per character if encoding in strict mode fails - Add PyUnicode_DecodeCodePageStateful() and PyUnicode_EncodeCodePage() functions - Expose these functions as codecs.code_page_decode() and codecs.code_page_encode()
The encoder raises a RuntimeError("recursive call") (ugly message!) if the result of the error handler is a Unicode string that cannot be encoded to the code page. More TODO: - write tests using codecs.code_page_decode() and codecs.code_page_encode() - Fix FIXME (e.g. support surrogates in the encoder) ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22315/mbcs2.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12281> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
