Marc-Andre Lemburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: While that's true for cPickle, it is not for pickle. The pickle protocol itself is defined in terms of the "raw-unicode-escape" codec (see pickle.py).
Besides, you cannot assume that the Python interpreter itself is the only use-case for these codecs. The "raw-unicode-escape" codec is well usable for other purposes where you need a compact way of encoding Unicode, especially if you're strings are mostly Latin-1 and only include non-UCS2 code points every now and then. That's also the reason why pickle uses it. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2541> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
