STINNER Victor added the comment: The test tries to decode a partial UTF-8 bytes string. The problem is that codecs.code_page_decode() doesn't implement fully partial decoders. The decoder only supports partial decoding for a few code pages: 932, 936, 949, 950, and 1361. The partial decoding is currently based on IsDBCSLeadByteEx(): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd318667%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
It may be possible to enhance decoders, but it's not a regression from Python 3.3 and so can be done in Python 3.5. Please just skip failing tests for CP_UTF8 (cp 65001) and maybe other Windows code pages in test_codecs. (I don't have time to write a patch to skip, sorry.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20571> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
