Yes, we can use an error handler specific to the mbcs codec, but I would prefer to not introduce special error handlers. For os.fsencode(), we can keep it unchanged, or add an optional "flags" argument to codecs.mbcs_decode(). > I still don't see the advantage of codecs.code_page_encode(). codecs.code_page_encode() and codecs.code_page_decode() are required for unit tests. If you don't want to add new public (C and Python) functions, we may add them to _testcapi. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12281> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
