I didn't say that it's not a bug. I said that it's not possible to modify a codec at this point in Python 2.7 without taking a risk of breaking applications relying on the current behaviour. Even in Python 3, we don't do such change in minor releases, but only in major releases. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27971> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
