I find the idea that it needs 'fixing' or is 'incorrect', as in 'fix the original incorrect decoding to latin-1' is a bit misleading as well. It was the only practical way of doing things that didn't cause a lot of other problems and was a deliberate decision. It wasn't a mistake. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22264> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
