this works, but still the quotes are backslash escaped. translate will do what i need for my use case, but it doesn't support streaming for larger chunks of data. it is nice that there is a workaround but i do still think this is a valuable enough feature that there should be a builtin codec for it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18679> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
