Ever used "recode" ? The purpose of EncodedFile/StreamRecoder was to convert an externally used encoding to a standard internal one - mainly to allow programs that didn't want to use Unicode for processing to still benefit from the codecs that come with Python. E.g. the example at the end of codecs.py allows using Latin-1 within the application, while talking to the console using UTF-8. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20405> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
