Windows supports Chinese, Japanese, and Korean encodings (code pages 936, 932, 949) that are multi-byte with one or two bytes per character. I'm not sure how that affects this though or what your point about not needing UTF-8 is. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
