New submission from Rob Malouf <[email protected]>:
Calling TextIOWrapper.tell() while reading the attached gb2312-encoded file
like this:
with open('udhr-gb2312.txt', encoding='GB2312') as f:
while True:
line = f.readline()
t = f.tell()
if not line:
break
gives this result:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 4, in <module>
t = f.tell()
UnicodeDecodeError: 'gb2312' codec can't decode byte 0xb5 in position 0:
illegal multibyte sequence
The file seems to be well-formed and can be read without any problem. It's
only the call to tell() that raises an issue.
