At least CP1251 has been used for many cyrillic locales in before-UTF8 age (I use it sometimes still). For now CP1251 is the default encoding for Byelorussian and Bulgarian: $ grep CP /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED be_BY CP1251 bg_BG CP1251 ru_RU.CP1251 CP1251 yi_US CP1255 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16444> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
