It would prefer to see the note added by Alexander in the doc mention *only* the preferred spellings (i.e. 'utf-8' and 'iso-8859-1') rather than all the variants that are actually optimized. One of the reasons that lead me to open #5902 is that I didn't like the inconsistencies in the encoding names (utf-8 vs utf8 vs UTF8 etc). Suggesting only one spelling per encoding will fix the problem. FWIW, the correct spelling is 'latin1', not 'latin-1', but I still prefer 'iso-8859-1' over the two. (The note could also use some more ``'markup'`` for the encoding names.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11303> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
