For your information, it took me something like 3 months (when I was working on the issue #12281) to understand exactly how Windows handles undecodable bytes and unencodable characters. I did a lot of tests on different Windows versions (XP, Vista and Seven, the behaviour changed in Windows Vista). I had to take notes because it is really complex. Well, I wanted to understand exactly *all* code pages, including CP_UTF7 and CP_UTF8, not only the most common ones like cp1252 or cp932. See the dedicated section in my book to learn more about these funtions: http://www.haypocalc.com/tmp/unicode-2011-07-20/html/operating_systems.html#encode- and-decode-functions Some information are available in MultiByteToWideChar and WideCharToMultiByte documentation, but they are not well explained :-p Victor _______________________________________________ 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
