Dear All
I'm developing a python application for which I need to support a
non-standard character encoding (specifically ISO 6937/2-1983, Addendum
1-1989). Here are some of the properties of the encoding and its use in
the application:
- I need to read and write data to/from files. The file format
includes two sections in different character encodings (so I
shan't be able to use codecs.open()).
- iso-6937 sections include non-printing control characters
- iso-6937 is a variable width encoding, e.g. "A" = [41],
"Ä" = [0xC8, 0x41]; all non-spacing diacritical marks are in the
range 0xC0-0xCF.
By any chance is there anyone out there working on iso-6937?
Otherwise, I think I need to write a new codec to support reading and
writing this data. Does anyone know of any tutorials or blog posts on
implementing a codec for a non-standard characeter encoding? Would
anyone be interested in reading one?
With thanks and best wishes
Ivan
