For Python 3.x, I think those can be removed. For 2.x it's better to keep them. Note that UTF-8 was the first official Unicode transfer encoding, that's why it's sometimes referred to as "UTF". The situation is similar for Latin-1. It was the first of a series of encodings defined by ECMA which was later published by ISO under the name ISO-8859 - long after the name "Latin-1" became popular which is why it's the default name in Python. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
