Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: See also get_standard_encoding() in Python/codecs.c. I suppose it is faster.
UTF-32 is rarely used as external encoding, but it is still used as internal encoding in some programming languages and libraries (e.g. wchar_t* in C and std::wstring in C++ on Linux). The codec itself is very fast. I would add fast path all utf encodings (except utf-7). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27938> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
