On approximately 5/6/2009 10:53 PM, came the following characters from
the keyboard of Martin v. Löwis:
The error handler designed with utf-8 in mind has no name in the encode
direction and is called "utf_8b_decoder_invalid_bytes" in the decode
direction. By your reasoning, *that* should be its name in Python. The
encoding error handler would then be named analogously
"utf_8b_encoder_invalid_codepoints". Even these, to me, would be better
than confusing giving them the same name as the codec.
So are you proposing that I should rename the PEP 383 handler
to "utf_8b_encoder_invalid_codepoints"?
No, he's saying that your algorithm for choosing the PEP 383 handler
should have come up with that name, rather than utf8b. But since PEP
383 applies to other codecs besides UTF-8, it should have a different
name. And one that is less cumbersome than
"utf_8b_encoder_invalid_codepoints"
