James G. sack (jim) added the comment: re: msg57041, I'm sorry if I gave the wrong impression about interacting with other programs. I started this feature request with some half-baked thinking, which I tried to revise in my second post.
Anyway I'm most interested right now in lobbying for a change to utf_8 to accept input with an _optional_ BOM-signature so that the input part would behave just like utf_8_sig, where the BOM-sig is already optional (on input). In the process of trying to come up with a test and patch for this, I discovered a bug in utf_8_sig (issue #1444 http://bugs.python.org/ issue1444). After there is some action on that I will return here to continue with utf_8, which I have convinced myself (anyways) is a reasonable and safe revision. ..jim __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1328> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
