STINNER Victor added the comment: Python 3.2 rejects characters outside the range U+0000-U+10ffff in some operations, but not everywhere. I fixed Python 3.3 to be more strict and always reject characters outside this range. I noticed the Solaris issue with mbstowcs() on locale encodings different than UTF-8: #13441. I asked if it's more important to be strict on Unicode, or if we need to handle the wcsxfrm() issue on python-dev: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2011-December/114759.html
Stefan Krah answered: "Yes, if the cause is a broken mbstowcs() that sounds good." http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2011-December/114781.html I asked for help on OpenIndiana IRC channel, but nobody had a locale encoding different than UTF-8. I didn't have access to a Solaris box, so I chose to skip failing tests on Solaris. My commit 2a2d0872d993 (and 7ffe3d304487) skips many locales to workaround this issue in test__locale. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16258> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
