Ok, I agree. MS codec has a nice replacement behaviour (search for a similar glyph): cp1252 encodes Ł to b'L' for example. Our codec raises a UnicodeEncodeError on u'\u0141'.encode('cp1252'). > As for the 65001 bug: is that actually solved by this codec? Sorry, which bug? See tests using CP_UTF8 in test_codecs. Depending on the Windows version, you don't get the same behaviour on surrogates. Before Windows Vista, surrogates were always encoded, whereas you can now choose the behaviour using the Python error handler: if self.vista_or_later(): tests.append(('\udc80', 'strict', None)) # None=UnicodeEncodeError tests.append(('\udc80', 'ignore', b'')) tests.append(('\udc80', 'replace', b'?')) else: tests.append(('\udc80', 'strict', b'\xed\xb2\x80')) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13216> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
