New submission from Tetsuya Morimoto: This patch adds Japanese legacy encodings as below. https://bitbucket.org/t2y/cpython/branches/compare/japanese-legacy-encoding..default
* eucjp_ms (euc-jp compatible with cp932) * iso2022_jp_ms (yet another iso-2022-jp compatible with cp932, similar to cp50220) * cp50220 (http://www.iana.org/assignments/charset-reg/CP50220) * cp50221 (a variant of cp50220) * cp50222 (a variant of cp50220) * cp51932 (http://www.iana.org/assignments/charset-reg/CP51932) Originally, these character encodings patch was created as result in IPA project in 2005, by Masayuki Moriyama. The result was contributed to several community: libiconv, glibc, perl, PHP, Ruby, PostgreSQL, MySQL, nkf. He had made a patch for Python 2.4.3 at that time, but somehow, no one worked to integrate. That's a crying shame. These character encodings are legacy, but are still used. Lots of end-user don't care the character encoding. Unfortunately, for historical reason, e-mails are encoded with these legacy encodings on Japanese Windows platform. Actually, my customer recently reported about Mojibake since its e-mail data would be encoded with cp50220 (iso-2022-jp-ms).
