[issue35551] Encoding and alias issues
BLKSerene added the comment: I suppose that mac_centeuro can be removed since it is identical to mac_latin2, and there are already some aliases for mac_latin2. Then, mac_centeuro can be added as an alias for mac_latin2. I'm not sure about why latin_1 and iso8859_1 are both supported (they are identical). The doc says: "CPython implementation detail: Some common encodings can bypass the codecs lookup machinery to improve performance. These optimization opportunities are only recognized by CPython for a limited set of (case insensitive) aliases: utf-8, utf8, latin-1, latin1, iso-8859-1, iso8859-1, mbcs (Windows only), ascii, us-ascii, utf-16, utf16, utf-32, utf32, and the same using underscores instead of dashes. Using alternative aliases for these encodings may result in slower execution." Also not sure whether this would matter or not. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue35551> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue35551] Encoding and alias issues
New submission from BLKSerene :
There're some minor issues about encodings supported by Python.
1. "tis260" is the alias for "tactis", where "tis260" might be a typo, which
should be tis620. And "tactis" is not a supported encoding by Python (and I
can't find any information about this encoding on Google).
2. "mac_latin2" and "mac_centeuro" refer to the same encoding (the decoding
tables are identical), but they are provided as two encodings in different
names ("maccentraleurope" is an alias for "mac_latin2", but "mac_centeuro"
isn't).
3. The same problem for "latin_1" and "iso8859_1" ("iso_8859_1" is an alias for
"latin_1", but "iso8859_1" isn't).
