Kurt B. Kaiser <k...@shore.net> added the comment: Having a modified utf-8 codec will be useful. That said, it is an error for Tcl/Tk to expose modified utf-8 externally, and that was fixed at some point in Tk8.5. Since Tk is no longer sending 0xC080 for the %A char, switching codecs in _tkinter.c won't accomplish anything.
This fix was to correct a long-standing problem in IDLE using Tk8.4, which is most easily solved by catching the leaked invalid null in _tkinter.c. It seems to me that, once you switch to modified utf-8 and allow the embedded nulls, you have to make sure everything you are doing uses the modified utf-8 encoding/decoding. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1028> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
