STINNER Victor added the comment: Oh, set_encoding.patch is wrong:
+ offset = self._decoded_chars_used - len(next_input) self._decoded_chars_used is a number of Unicode characters, len(next_input) is a number of bytes. It only works with 7 and 8 bit encodings like ascii or latin1, but not with multibyte encodings like utf8 or ucs-4. > peeking into the underlying buffer would be enough to > handle encoding detection. I wrote a new patch using this idea. It does not work (yet?) with non seekable streams. The raw read buffer (bytes string) is not stored in the _snapshot attribute if the stream is not seeakble. It may be changed to solve this issue. set_encoding-2.patch is still a work-in-progress. It does not patch the _io module for example. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file26750/set_encoding-2.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15216> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
