I stumbled upon it, rewriting the charmap decoder (issue14874). Now charmap decoder processes the two cases -- a more effective case of string table and a general slower case of general mapping. I proposed a more optimized case of 256-character UCS2 string (covers all standard charmap encodings). If processing general strings and maps was consistent, these cases can be merged. A string subclass is just an example that illustrates the inconsistency. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14850> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
