Matthew Barnett <pyt...@mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment: How about a 'full' form and a 'key' form generated by the function:
def codec_key(name): return name.lower().replace("-", "").replace("_", "") The key form would be the key to an available codec, and the key generated by a user-supplied codec name would have to match one of those keys. For example: Full: "UTF-8", key: "utf8". Full: "ISO-8859-1", key: "iso88591". ---------- nosy: +mrabarnett _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5902> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
