New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>: On Debian and Ubuntu, /etc/mime.types file is pure ASCII, but on Fedora 15 it contains a non-ASCII character, ³ (U+00B3), in the line: "application/vnd.geocube+xml g3 g³"
And the file is encoded in UTF-8. That's why Python should read this file from UTF-8 instead of the locale encoding, because the locale encoding can be ASCII. Attached patch implements this idead. I think that it is a bug and so it should also be fixed in Python 3.2. (Python 2.7 reads the file in binary mode, it doesn't care of the encoding.) ---------- files: mimetypes_encoding.patch keywords: patch messages: 144357 nosy: haypo, sandro.tosi, terry.reedy priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: mimetypes should read the rule file using UTF-8, not the locale encoding versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23219/mimetypes_encoding.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13025> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
