Indeed, also the private-use characters. test_unicode explicitly comments that the test is about unassigned characters, although I don't understand the purpose of that test (it then also tests a surrogate character, which is also guaranteed to remain unprintable). One of the characters that is guaranteed to remain unassigned is U+FFFE (and its mirrors in other planes, e.g. U+1FFFE, ...). This guarantee is made to support the BOM. Along with U+FFFF, these are non-characters. #765036 once suggested that Python should refuse to represent them at all, but that proposal was rejected. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3811> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
