Bodo Graumann <m...@bodograumann.de> added the comment: Unfortunately this is not quite finished yet.
First of all, the change is bigger than what is documented: “Changed in version 3.9: Hyphens and spaces are converted to underscore.“ In reality, now | Normalization works as follows: all non-alphanumeric | characters except the dot used for Python package names are | collapsed and replaced with a single underscore, e.g. ' -;#' | becomes '_'. Leading and trailing underscores are removed.” Cf. [encodings/__init__.py](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/bb3e0c240bc60fe08d332ff5955d54197f79751c/Lib/encodings/__init__.py#L47-L50) Secondly, this change breaks lots of iconv codecs with the python-iconv binding. E.g. `ASCII//TRANSLIT` is now normalized to `ascii_translit`, which iconv does not understand. Codec names which use hyphens also break and iinm not all of them have aliases in iconv without hyphens. Cf. [python-iconv #4](https://github.com/bodograumann/python-iconv/issues/4) The codecs api feels extremely well-fitting for integrating iconv in python and any alternative I can think of seems unsatisfactory. Please advise. ---------- nosy: +bodograumann _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37751> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
