via a web entry form it would be much easier and

Hi,
a few days ago, I showed pymarc to a group of technical librarians to
demonstrate how easily certain tasks can be scripted/automated.
Unfortunately, it blew up at me when I tried to write a record:

Hi Godmar,
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe8 in position 9: ordinal
not in range(128)
Having seen my fair share of these kinds of encoding errors in Python, I can
speculate (without seeing the pymarc source code, so please don't hold me to
this) that it's the Python

Sounds like what you do, Terry, and what we need in PyMARC, is
something like UnicodeDammit [0]. Actually handling all of these
esoteric encodings would be quite the chore, though.
I also used to think it would be cool if we could get MARC8
encoding/decoding into the Python standard library, but

Sure -- but this is one part of a much larger process. MarcEdit has two MARC
algorithms, one that is a strict processing algorithm, and one that is a loose
processing algorithm that is able to process data that would be otherwise
invalid for most processors (and this is done because in
I also used to think it would be cool if we could get MARC8

rather work on other stuff while MARC8 withers and dies.
Wouldn't that be nice. In MarcEdit, all data wants to be treated as UTF8,
MARC8 support is there
a) Mis-characterized MARC char encodings are common amongst many of our
corpuses and ILS's. It is a common problem. It can be very inconvenient.
Not only Marc8 that says it's UTF8 and vice versa, but something that
says it's MARC8 or UTF8 but is actually neither.
b) While one solution would
Oh, and why do I favor this solution?
Compared to passing input through as is: You're just prolonging the
pain, something downstream is still going to have a problem with it,
outputting known illegal data is not a good idea.
Compared to heuristically guessing encoding: Heuristically

One side comment here; while smart handling/automatic detection of

Hi Godmar,
Using something similar to Jonathan's suggestion , I use the Python's encode

heuristics behind these optins) when encountering similar issues while
