New submission from John Machin <sjmac...@users.sourceforge.net>: According to the following references, the bytes 80, A0, FD, FE, and FF are not defined in cp932:

Each case should be treated as undefined/unexpected/error/... ---------- components: Unicode messages: 102308 nosy: sjmachin severity: normal status: open title: raw_bytes.decode('cp932') -- spurious mappings type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8308> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
