PBP?

Well, there is a way to stack error handlers, although it's not pretty:
_surrogates = codecs.lookup_errors("surrogates")
_replace = codecs.lookup_errors("replace")
def surrogates_then_replace(exc):
try:
return _surrogates(exc)
except UnicodeError:
return _replace(exc)
codecs.register_error("surrogates_then_replace",
surrogates_then_replace)

Indeed - in particular, as, in the primary application of this error
handler (i.e. file IO operations), there is no way of specifying
an addition error handler anyway.
