Yes. That's all that is being asked for: that Python do strict decoding to a canonical form by default. That's a lot to ask, as it turns out, but that is what we (the minority of strict Unicode adherents, that is) want. If you want the convenience and risk, I believe you should ask for it by name (I suggest a name like "own_me" for the relaxed decoding flag<wink>). Failing that, it would be nice to have a global flag to change the default. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
