Thanks, Martin. Here's a similar discussion of the Windows approach (used in bzr): https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/256550/comments/6 This is what Solaris uses: http://developers.sun.com/dev/gadc/faq/locale.html#get-set (they require conversion to ASCII and using IDNA for non-ASCII names) I found this RFC draft on the topic: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-josefsson-getaddrinfo-idn-00 which suggests that there is no standard for the encoding used by the socket host name APIs yet. ASCII, UTF-8 and IDNA are happily mixed and matched. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9377> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
