Yes, it is not a codec in Python library terminology. It's just a pair of functions, the COder and DECoder, which is enough for the task of hacking Java serialized data. I don't think that such specific task leads to the change of the interpreter core. However, translators that convert the non-BMP characters to a surrogate pair and back, would be useful in the standard library. They need to work with a non-standard encodings (CESU-8, MUTF-8, cp65001, some Tk/IDLE issues). This is a fairly common task. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2857> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
