I was rejecting completly transform codecs, but I changed my mind. I'm trying to accept that codecs.encode/decode functions were present from the beginning and that they should be functions :-) My request to remove extra code on the exceptions handling was specific to pure Unicode encodings (like UTF-8. The code can be kept for codecs.encode/decode. The impact of my request should only impact misused third party transform codecs. You would just get as much info that you are getting with Python 3.3. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
