STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: I think that the normalization function in unicodeobject.c (only used for internal functions) can skip any character different than a-z, A-Z and 0-9. Something like:
>>> import re >>> def normalize(name): return re.sub("[^a-z0-9]", "", name.lower()) ... >>> normalize("UTF-8") 'utf8' >>> normalize("ISO-8859-1") 'iso88591' >>> normalize("latin1") 'latin1' So ISO-8859-1, ISO885-1, LATIN-1, latin1, UTF-8, utf8, etc. will be normalized to iso88591, latin1 and utf8. I don't know any encoding name where a character outside a-z, A-Z, 0-9 means anything special. But I don't know all encoding names! :-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11303> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
