STINNER Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: @loewis: Ok, I didn't know. I think that it's better to reuse existing code.
I also compared the implementations of encoding detection, and the code looks the same in IDLE and tokenize, but I prefer tokenize. tokenize.detect_encoding() has longer documentation, return the line (decoded as Unicode) matching the encoding cookie, and look to be more robust. I saw an interesting test in IDLE code: it checks the charset. So I wrote a patch raising a SyntaxError for tokenize: issue4021. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4008> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
