I think memory usage caused is measurable (I estimated 4KiB per dictionary). More importantly, people apparently currently change the dictionaries we provide and expect the codecs to automatically pick up the modified mappings. It would be better if the breakage is explicit (i.e. they get an AttributeError on the variable) instead of implicit (their changes to the mapping simply have no effect anymore). > KOI8-U is not available as mapping on ftp.unicode.org and > I only recreated codecs from the mapping files available > there. I think we should come up with mapping tables for the additional codecs as well, and maintain them in the CVS. This also applies to things like rot13. > I'll rerun the creation with the above changes sometime this > week. I hope I can finish my encoding routine shortly, which again results in changes to the codecs (replacing the encoding dictionaries with other lookup tables).
