Depends on your use case. E.g. utf-32 is hardly ever used in practice, utf-16 is only common on Windows and then only as utf-16-le, I'm not sure about mbcs since that's a meta-codec. In reality, this will likely be the same as cp1252 most of the time. I'm ok on ascii, latin1, utf-8 and mbcs (including the additional normalization, aliasiing and case mapping), but not on the others. >> we have to be careful about adding more such shortcuts. > > I just want to add a shortcut for ISO-8859-1. Fine, even though that name is really not used much in Python code. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8922> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
