Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Marc-Andre, there are at least two issues about supporting East Asian encodings (issue13612 and issue15877). I think this means that that encodings are used in XML in wild. Current support of encodings (8-bit + UTF-8 + UTF-16) is enough for my needs, but I never have deal with East Asian languages.
Currently the CodecInfo object has an optional flag _is_text_encoding. I think we can add more private attributes (flags and precomputed tables) for using with the expat parser. If they are not set (third-party encodings) the current autodetection code can be used as a fallback. ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18059> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
