Pointers, please. Last time I read that part of the spec was when a customer's consulting company switched to ISO-8859-15 without saying something beforehand. The old code (PHP) I have to maintain couldn't deal with it. It was wrong to switch encoding without telling somebody about it. And a XML processor isn't required to support ISO-8859-15. But I thought it was too embarrassing not to support this encoding. I fixed that part without making a fuss. A Python XML processor that can't handle the own encoding is embarrassing. It isn't required to support it. It would be OK if it wouldn't support UTF-7. But a parseString() method that doesn't want Python strings? No way! -- Web (en): http://www.no-spoon.de/ -*- Web (de): http://www.frell.de/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
