Anyway, until the day in the distant future when Python can support encoding names in common circulation, http://stackoverflow.com/a/1064191/874188 offers a crude workaround. import encodings if 'windows_874' not in encodings.aliases.aliases: encodings.aliases.aliases['windows_874'] = 'cp874' This is tricky in a number of ways; in practice, this snippet needs to be at the very start of your source file. Also, the underscore is correct even for email encoding names like =?windows-874?Q?hello=3F?= which use a dash (the dash gets remapped to underscore internally when looking up the encoding alias). ---------- nosy: +era _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue854511> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
