Eric Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment: The feature request seems reasonable to me, too.
I don't recall if sys.getdefaultencoding() can change while a program is running. If so, you might want to change: def read(self, filenames, encoding=sys.getdefaultencoding()): to: def read(self, filenames, encoding=None): if encoding is None: encoding=sys.getdefaultencoding() Also, what if the files have different encodings? The patch seems to include 2 features: the encoding change and a comment parsing change. You should separate that into two patches. ---------- nosy: +eric.smith _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9411> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
