Python tries to follow the IANA charset registry.

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.
