When I use an encoder function from codecs module, documentation says
that it encodes the object input and returns a tuple (output object,
length consumed).
>>> import codecs
>>> enc=codecs.getencoder('iso-8859-1')
>>> enc(u'asdf')
('asdf', 4)
>>>
I just don't understand why it returns the "length consumed".
Does it means that in some case, the input string can be only partially
converted ?
What can be the use of the "length consumed" value ?
And a last question: can I call this "enc" function from multiple
threads ?
