Maarten Derickx <maarten.deri...@navara.nl> added the comment:
The route via gencodec or more generally via charmap_encode and charmap_decode seems to be one that is not possible without some low level CPython code adjustments. The reason for this is that charmap_encode and charmap_decode only seem to support mappings where a single encoded byte corresponds to multiple unicode points. However iso6937 is a mixed length encoding, meaning in this specific case that unicode characters sometimes need to be encoded as a single byte and sometimes with two bytes. For example chr(0x00c0) should be encoded as b'\xc1' + b'A'. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue24339> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
