Python tries to follow the IANA charset registry. http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets If you submit a patch, it would be good if you checked all names and determined which aliases are missing. While you are at it, you'll notice that the current version of the character-sets database lists Name: ISO-8859-15 MIBenum: 111 Source: ISO Please see: <http://www.iana.org/assignments/charset-reg/ISO-8859-15> Alias: ISO_8859-15 Alias: Latin-9 so the "official" alias is "Latin-9", not "latin9". You may want to ask the submitter of that entry why this inconsistency was introduced. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
