I need to report the encodings supported. When the user does not enter a required encoding or enters an invalid encoding, we need to tell them which encodings are valid and how they are specified. In an embedded environment I would be concerned that some or most might have been left out to save space/size/time. The primary identifier and a descriptive string (localized) need to be available at a minimum. Having aliases would be a plus. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
