Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: My name appears in that Makefile because I wrote it and used it to create the charmap codecs.
The reason why the Mac Japanese codec was not created for 2.x was the size of the mapping table. Ideal would be to have the C version of the CJK codecs support the Mac Japanese encoding as well. Adding back the charmap based Mac Japanese codec would be a compromise. The absence of the Mac Japanese codec causes (obvious) problems for many Japanese Python users running Mac OS X. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1276> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
