New submission from Eric Snow: In Lib/encodings/__init__.py, search_function() looks up an encoding by name. It loads the encoding by importing the corresponding module in the encodings package. If there's an ImportError while importing that module then the encoding gets silently ignored. I noticed this while working on issue #16384.
While I don't have any direct interest in the matter, I expect that it would be more useful to users if we issued a warning or some other printed message when an encoding is ignored. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 274856 nosy: eric.snow priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: Broken encoding modules are silently skipped. type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28005> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
