Perhaps. However, utf-8b doesn't really have to do anything with utf-8 - it's an algorithm based on 16-bit or 32-bit code points. > Also, if utf8-b is not provided as a codec, will there be an easy way for user > code to use the same encoding as the IO layer does? s.encode(os.getfilesystemencoding(), "utf8b") will do just that (in fact, that's exactly what the IO layer does).
