Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Adam Olsen (rhamphoryncus) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Definition of a "character" is wrong Initial Comment: Python's definition of a character does not match that of Unicode. Python's documentation should, at a minimum, explain how python definition compares to Unicode's definition of a code unit, code point, glyph, grapheme cluster, or character. Unicode's definition of a character can be found here: http://unicode.org/reports/tr17/ Python seems to use the Code Units option given here: http://www.unicode.org/faq/char_combmark.html#7 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2006-10-20 17:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 The Python string type is not at all Unicode compliant, so I don't see a need to use Unicode terminology to explain it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1581182&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
