New submission from Zack Weinberg: The codecs registry (as of 3.4) is unaware of two of the canonical encoding names from <https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#names-and-labels>: "windows-874" and "x-mac-cyrillic". For interoperability's sake, please make these aliases for "cp874" and "mac_cyrillic" respectively.
(For full interop, *every* name and label in that list should be understood by str.encode(), but the canonical names are most useful. Lack of support for iso-8859-i is already reported as https://bugs.python.org/issue18624 . I have not tested the full set of non-canonical labels.) ---------- messages: 253061 nosy: zwol priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add encoding aliases from the (HTML5) Encoding Standard type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25416> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
