Adding those aliases sounds good to me. I think it would be good to add some tests first (possibly as a separate issue/pr), even though I'm not sure what would be the best way to test the aliases. Testing if the list is complete/correct should be done against the HTML5/Unicode specs, but that, if automated, would require downloading/parsing the specs and is probably not worth doing it. We can also check that all the aliases are accepted by str.encode/decode, and all corresponding aliases should give the same result, however if str.encode/decode use the aliases dict, the test is nothing more than a sanity check and won't detect e.g. typos in the aliases names, or wrongly assigned aliases. ---------- nosy: +fbidu stage: patch review -> test needed versions: +Python 3.8 -Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue25416> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
