Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Blacklisting by name is slow and it prevents a user from defining a codec with blacklisted name.
What if just add private attribute ("_not_text"?) to unsafe codecs? If a codec has this attribute, than it should not be used it text encoding/decoding. Checking an attribute is much faster than comparing with a couple of strings. Another possibility is an inheriting all unsafe codecs from special class. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19619> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
