Suggesting only one spelling per encoding will fix the problem. I am fine with trimming the list. In fact I deliberately did not mention say UTF-8 variant even though it is also optimized. Unfortunately, I don't think we have a choice between 'latin-1', 'latin1', and 'iso-8859-1'. I don't think we should recommend 'latin-1' because this may cause people adding '-' to a very popular and IANA registered 'latin1' variant and while 'iso-8859-1' is the most pedantically correct spelling, it is very user unfriendly. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
